Aboriginal Employment Strategy

This strategy has been developed to demonstrate our commitment to attracting and retaining Aboriginal people as a vital part of our diverse and talented health workforce and to build our cultural capacity.

We know that having skilled Aboriginal staff makes a difference to our Aboriginal patients and their families, and that cultural safety and clinical safety are both essential for the delivery of high-quality care.

This strategy outlines our four priority areas and initiatives that will drive our approach to fostering an inclusive environment, where our people can thrive and do their best.

Priority areas

• Working together - Partnerships, engagement and relationships
• Bring our people in - Attraction and recruitment
• Growing our workforce - grow, develop value and retain Aboriginal staff
• Cultural knowledge and translation - creating a culturally safe environment for staff and consumers
