Access & Equity Family Program Policy

Positive Solutions is committed to providing quality services in Hobart and Launceston to meet the needs of clients in all their diversity, regardless of:

  1. age
  2. fee paying capacity
  3. gender
  4. race
  5. ethnicity

For the purposes of this policy, “access” means making it possible for a diverse range of people to gain access to current and future services.  This may include, but is not limited to, specified client target groups as identified by the Board and/or Grant providers as part of specific service contracts entered into.

For the purpose of this policy, “equity” means the removal of barriers which would prevent a satisfactory client and/or organisational outcome.  It means the creation of an environment which is fair, non-discriminatory and harassment free. It means the development of an organisational culture where all are committed to these processes.
