At Epworth HealthCare, we are passionate about creating an environment that’s inclusive and supportive, a place where everyone can truly be themselves. We know that diversity fosters greater innovation and better patient connection, and helps our people to thrive.
We welcome people of all genders, ages and ethnicities. Our focus is on fairness and opportunity for under-represented groups like the LGBTQIA+ and Indigenous communities, and people who identify as living with a disability. Our diversity and inclusion strategy is focussed on:
- Diverse perspectives – ensuring under-represented people are included in our workforce and their diverse thinking is valued.
- An inclusive culture - where everyone can thrive.
- Flexibility and fairness – enabled by technology, fair policies and processes.
