ANGLICARE chief executive Mark Glasson unfurled the LGBTQ community flag at the not-for-profit’s Adelaide Terrace office on Monday.
It now lines the building’s front facing window, alongside the Australian and Aboriginal flags.
“It’s a really good sign for our staff that we are a diverse and inclusive workplace and it’s also a public sign for people in the community who might not be able to access a service or feel they can’t – we’re a welcoming location and they will get good service from us,” Mr Glasson said.
