The Health + Wellbeing Equality Index (HWEI) is an annual benchmarking tool designed to assess and benchmark LGBTQ+ inclusive service provision among health, wellbeing and human service providers in Australia.
Developed and assessed by Pride in Health + Wellbeing, a not-for-profit organisational support program for LGBTQ+ inclusion, the HWEI evaluates how well organisations address LGBTQ+ related needs and create inclusive environments.
Hunter Primary Care recently completed our annual assessment for the HWEI. Our scorecard improved by 15 points, which saw us achieve a Bronze Award.
The improvement in our scorecard and being awarded a Bronze Award is reflective of our continued commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
