Diversity and inclusion

Connect Health & Community welcomes people regardless of their age, language, ethnicity, cultural background, religious belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, intersex status, disability, learning style, educational level, professional skills, work and life experiences, socio-economic background, job function, geographical location, relationship status or family responsibilities.

We are committed playing an active role in our diverse and inclusive community, and to being an inclusive and diverse workplace.

Each person’s unique life experiences and influences shape our values, perspectives, ideas, aspirations and world view. We are all different. We all have a different view of the world. And that’s something to celebrate and embrace.

We want everyone who interacts with Connect Health & Community (clients, employees, visitors, volunteers, community partners, and members of the community) to:

• feel comfortable, safe and free to bring their whole self to Connect Health & Community, and thrive in an accepting and supportive environment
• be treated with dignity and respect by every member of the Connect Health & Community team.

Reconciliation Action Plan

In May 2019 we launched our 'Reflect' Reconciliation Action Plan which demonstrates our commitment to the loal Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. 

The document was the result of three years work and will set the direction for the organisation's activities over the coming 12 months and into the future.
