Our plan identifies priorities and actions for NSW Health to progress towards gender equality in healthcare.
Inequality based on gender or sex can have a significant impact on our workforce and the people we care for. Evidence shows that improving gender equality has positive health outcomes and economic benefits.
The plan is for everyone because gender inequality affects people of all genders. Gender disparities are often greater when they are combined with other characteristics such as Aboriginality, age, disability, cultural background, language, sexual orientation or income.
Our Action Plan has 4 priorities that focus on system level change from 2025 to 2028.

NSW Health organisations and their staff are encouraged to champion gender equality. By taking inclusive action, we can help ensure people of all genders have the same experiences and outcomes across the health system.
