Our values

We stand against racism and all forms of discrimination

At Metro North Health, racism has no place in how we work, lead or care.

Eliminating racism is a core principle to our Values in Action and essential to creating a safe health system for every person.

We recognise that racism happens too often across our organisation and we are committed to actively identifying, addressing and overcoming racism to create a safe and equitable health system for all people. We acknowledge our shared responsibility to listen, learn, reflect and act with humility as we work together to challenge inequity and drive positive change. Our commitment is demonstrated through everyday behaviours, accountable leadership, continuous learning, and safe, trusted processes that support speaking up and responding to concerns.

A safe workplace is one where living our values in action means:

• Respect guides every interaction, and diversity is recognised, valued and celebrated.
• Integrity means calling out racism, bias and systemic inequities, and taking responsibility for repair when harm occurs.
• Compassion ensures voices with lived experiences are heard, respected and responded to with care and humility.
• Teamwork builds belonging through shared responsibility for safety and protects psychological safety for all.
• High Performance drives measurable action, continuous learning, and accountability.

This statement is our shared promise to act, listen and lead positive change together.
