Diversity and inclusion

We are committed to ensuring that our services are delivered by people who are representative of the diverse communities we assist.

We wholly embrace diversity and inclusion and encourage people to work with us from all ages, races, genders, religions, sexual orientations, family responsibilities or other characteristics, including Aboriginal people, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, the LGBTI community and people with disability.

We recognise the need for an open and inclusive workplace culture where diversity is valued, cultural backgrounds are respected, and all employees are provided an environment free from discrimination, harassment and unconscious bias.

To cultivate understanding and increase equity and inclusion of employees, we have developed initiatives to educate, develop, empower and celebrate the broad range of employees who make up our workforce.

Our NMHS Workforce Diversity and Inclusion 2022-2025 Strategy (PDF) outlines our actions to be a more inclusive and supportive workplace and attract and retain a diverse workforce.

These initiatives align with the objectives listed in the Workforce Diversification and Inclusion Strategy for WA Public Sector Employment 2020–2025 (external site).
