As the largest public health system in Australia, building a workforce that represents the community it serves is vital in delivering inclusive and responsive healthcare services.
Diversity Inclusion Belonging Guide
The Diversity Inclusion Belonging Guide provides the direction for public health organisations to ensure local diversity initiatives align with, and deliver, diversity and inclusion goals set out in Future Health.
The guide acknowledges the elements of diversity and inclusion, the positives that come from individual differences and recognises the crucial role a sense of belonging plays in delivering an effective, functioning, diverse and inclusive workplace. The NSW Health CORE Values are reinforced in this resource.
