Statement on Marriage Equality from the Forensicare Board and Executive

Forensicare embraces diversity and equality in our community and workplaces. The Forensicare Board and Executive support marriage equality.

We are committed to providing a workplace and services to consumers, carers and families that are safe, compassionate and inclusive of all cultures, ages, genders, sexuality, backgrounds and religious beliefs.  Our role as an organisation is to focus on the recovery of consumers and support our workforce, with the goal of achieving better and safer outcomes for consumers and the community.  We recognise the adverse impacts that discrimination or stigma can bring and the mental health benefits that flow from inclusion and feeling supported.

With more than 630 staff, hundreds of consumers and service users and their families and carers there will be different views on this issue. We value this diversity and respect all views within our community.
