We are proud to launch our second Cultural Safety Plan, demonstrating our commitment to our patients, staff and community.
As a leading public health service, we have a responsibility to provide a safe, welcoming and supportive environment for all those we come in contact with.
Our Aboriginal Cultural Safety Plan 2024–2026 is a continuation of our commitment to reviewing and improving our processes, practices and spaces. Our strategy champions cultural recognition, understanding and service re-design to close the health gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
Thank you to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, Community members and staff for their guidance and wisdom on this journey.
