Diversity & Participation

The LSCS Way

All aspects of LSCS service delivery promote Participants’ active participation and inclusion in the community. We support Participants to develop and maintain their independence, problem solving, social and self-care skills, as appropriate to their age, developmental stage, cultural background, or other needs and goals.

  • We ensure diversity and participation by delivering services in a way that respects individuals’ personal, gender, sexual, cultural, religious, or spiritual identity;
  • We employ and develop a diverse and culturally competent workforce;
  • Working collaboratively with disability-specific, mainstream, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse services to support holistic service delivery; and
  • We use a strengths-based approach to identify individual participant needs and life goals, particularly in relation to recognising the importance of family, extended family, kinship, cultural, spiritual, language and community ties.

Interpreting & Translation

The delivery of safe, high-quality services relies on effective communication. Where required, interpreters and translators will be made available at no cost to support your interactions with us.
