It is a priority for the Workforce Planning and Development Branch to attract, support and retain Aboriginal talent. Every role contributes to better health outcomes for Aboriginal people, families and communities. Whether working in frontline care, corporate services, leadership or specialist roles, Aboriginal staff help create culturally safe services where Mob feel understood, respected and supported.
We are committed to creating workplaces where Aboriginal staff experience belonging, connection, cultural safety and clear opportunities to grow their careers.
As an interactive team, we aim to:
AHPs and AHWs work within multidisciplinary healthcare teams to achieve better health outcomes for Aboriginal people and communities. They play a key role in facilitating relationships between Aboriginal patients, families and health professionals.
Respecting the Difference aims to significantly improve the health status of Aboriginal people and reverse the impact of racism as there is an immediate and ongoing need for organisations to provide more respectful, responsive and culturally sensitive services.
Stepping Up is NSW Health's recruitment resource for Aboriginal people. It aims to assist Aboriginal job applicants understand how to apply for roles in NSW Health, and hiring managers to more effectively structure the recruitment to roles within NSW Health.
Aboriginal Workforce has collated and reviewed various publications, information bulletins, and resources related to Aboriginal initiatives.
