Disability Action Plan 2022-2025

Our Disability Action Plan provides a framework for how we will increase access and inclusion for people with disability.

In our second Disability Action Plan, our four key areas of focus are:

• Service access: we will partner with people with disability in the design of our services and facilities to ensure user-friendly, women-centred healthcare and workspaces.
• Changing attitudes and behaviours: we will tackle the direct and indirect discrimination and stereotyping that women and staff with disability experience.
• Employment and volunteer opportunities and experiences: we will ensure our recruitment and selection processes are inclusive and barrier free, that we work to attract and retain talented and skilled people with disability, and we build the capacity of our people managers to advance inclusive workplace practices.
• Inclusion and participation: we will ensure our marketing, consumer health information and digital information is accessible, inclusive and promotes positive and diverse representations of people with disability.

Parkville Precinct Strategic Cancer Service Plan 2025-2035

This Strategic Cancer Service Plan is focused on adult cancer clinical services provided by the Precinct partners Peter Mac, RMH and the Women’s 
within the context of the broader Victorian health system.

One of the key strengths of the Precinct is the tertiary service mix across the sites that provides an unrivalled depth of expertise. Cancer services 
are distributed across the Precinct, along with many supporting clinical and non-clinical services. Cancer research is also Precinct-wide and includes academic partners such as universities and research institutes, working to ensure cancer services are research led. 

This Plan articulates an ambition built on these 
strengths to further embed and formalise the specialised role of the Precinct in the context 
of Victoria.
