Fostering inclusion
At the Women’s, we recognise that our workforce is our best asset, and we value the diverse backgrounds, lived experiences and expertise of our employees. Our leadership is committed to fostering an inclusive environment that enhances staff, patient and consumer wellbeing.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences. This includes people with disability, people from the LGBTQIA+ community, people with caring responsibilities, people who are linguistically or culturally diverse, and people of all ages and genders. We appreciate and celebrate the unique contribution that intersectional identities bring to the workplace.
The Women’s acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the First Peoples of Australia. We deeply appreciate, value and respect the stories, traditions and living cultures of First Nations Peoples, and believe these are integral to the future of the Women’s.
We encourage anyone identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander to work with us. We invite you to visit our Aboriginal Careers page.
Commitment in action
The Women’s recognises the importance of equity, inclusion and belonging for our staff, volunteers, patients, consumers and visitors.
“The Women’s would not exist without our workforce. I’m proud of each and every individual that makes up our diverse and vibrant community. We are on a journey to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors feels that they belong.”
- Prof Sue Matthews, Chief Executive Officer
