METHOD(S): Thematic analysis of semi-structured, in-depth interviews, and pre-surveys to collect demographics and knowledge self-rating scales. RESULT(S): Of 38 multidisciplinary healthcare staff, 44.7 % identified as LGBTIQA+ and 55.3 % as heterosexual and cisgender allies. Participants discussed experiences, noting strengths and gaps in affirming practice and organisational support, and training and education opportunities. CONCLUSION(S): Health services need to prioritise LGBTIQA+ safety and responsiveness for staff, patients, carers and families. LGBTIQA+ healthcare staff report that they have had experiences of trauma, minority stress, discrimination, homophobia and/or transphobia, and look for visible safe spaces at work and see safer clinical care.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
