Equity, diversity and inclusion
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion shapes how we deliver care and support to our community, every day.
Your background, culture, identity and circumstances shape how you live and how you experience healthcare.
Our commitment
We are committed to providing care that:
- makes you feel safe and welcome
- respects your culture, identity and beliefs
- is easy to understand and access
- responds to what matters most to you.
We will always support:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and Communities
- people from all cultural and language backgrounds
- LGBTQIA+ people
- people living with disability
- people with lived and living experience
- people of all ages and life stages.
Supporting our diverse community
We work closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Communities, Elders and Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations to provide culturally safe care.
We work with community leaders to better understand different cultural needs and preferences. Our team includes staff from diverse backgrounds, and we can arrange interpreters to support you.
We consult with LGBTQIA+ community members to provide inclusive, affirming care. Our services are safe spaces where you can be yourself.
We understand that barriers in buildings, services and attitudes can affect your access to care and support. We work to remove these barriers so you can get the care you need.
We provide care that supports your child's unique needs. Our staff explain things clearly to help families make informed decisions about their care.
Creating a workplace where everyone belongs
Every person brings unique strengths, perspectives and experiences that make our organisation better. We want all our staff, students and volunteers to feel valued and supported to be themselves at work.
We work to remove barriers and build teams that reflect the diverse communities we serve. This helps us better understand and support the people who need our services most.
We're building an inclusive workplace where:
Everyone can bring their whole self to work each day.
Diverse perspectives and experiences are valued.
Our people have the support they need to do their best work.
Our leaders champion diversity and inclusion.
All staff members have equal opportunities to grow and develop.
Learning and improving
We listen to and learn from the people and communities we serve. Your feedback helps us improve our services and break down barriers to care.
