Our values

We put people first.

We are compassionate and care deeply for those around us, treating everyone with kindness and empathy.

What this looks like: 

• We put the patient at the centre of everything we do 
• We ask people how they are going and we listen actively to their response 
• We consider how our actions might impact others

Each of us is responsible for our commitments, our behaviour and the quality of our work.

We trust everyone to use their best judgement and always behave ethically, acting in the best interests of our patients, our people and Epworth. 

What this looks like: 

• Being open and honest about making a mistake, and seeing it as an opportunity to learn 
• Following through on the commitments we make and taking ownership for the quality of our work 
• Being committed to providing the highest quality care and representing Epworth as a staff member

We are proudly inclusive and treat everyone with dignity.

We encourage and celebrate difference and treat everyone as a valued equal.

What this looks like: 

• We listen to everyone’s perspective and take on board new ideas 
• We are inclusive, accepting and considerate of other people’s experiences
• We look to solve any workplace issues constructively

We are committed to providing the highest quality healthcare for our patients.

We constantly push ourselves to be our best, to improve and learn and we arrive every day inspired to make a difference. 

What this looks like: 

• We do the little things well that make a big difference in people’s lives 
• We have a continuous improvement mindset and we share our knowledge with each other whenever relevant
