Frequently Asked Questions

Identity includes the personal characteristics, beliefs, values, relationships, sexuality and experiences that make each person unique. Respecting identity supports dignity, self-worth and wellbeing.

Sex generally refers to biological characteristics, while sexuality relates to a person's sexual orientation, feelings, attraction and relationships. Both should be treated with respect and without judgement.

Religion usually involves shared beliefs, practices and traditions. Spirituality is broader and may involve meaning, values, connection and personal beliefs, with or without religious involvement.

Listen to residents, respect their choices and beliefs, protect privacy and dignity, recognise individual differences and provide support that reflects their personal, social, spiritual and relationship needs.

Residents have the right to dignity, privacy and personal relationships. Care workers should provide respectful, non-judgemental support while following relevant legislation and safeguarding procedures.
