In a world where healthcare should be a sanctuary for all, too many LGBTTQIA+ individuals face daunting barriers to accessing inclusive and respectful medical services. Our project, Wellcome!, seeks to revolutionise the healthcare experience by empowering both queer individuals and medical receptionists to create environments of acceptance and understanding within GP clinics.

Wellcome! is a pioneering initiative undertaken by our non-profit organisation to address the systemic challenges faced by queer communities in New Zealand's healthcare system. Through our face-to-face workshops that bring people together outside the clinic environment, we facilitate meaningful dialogues between queer volunteers and medical receptionists, fostering empathy, awareness, and actionable change.
