Have your say – Stop Racism Yarning Hub
Metro North Health is committed to delivering equitable, culturally safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our goal is to achieve life expectancy parity by 2031.
As part of this commitment, we are actively working to eliminate racial discrimination and institutional racism across our health service. Metro North Health has zero tolerance for racism in any form.
The Stop Racism. It Starts with Me campaign is part of our Health Equity Strategy, developed through co-design with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, patients, and community members. If you experience or witness racism at a hospital or health service, you can share your feedback anonymously or as openly as you want through this online Reporting Form.
All reports — even anonymous ones — are taken seriously, with care and will be reviewed to help guide actions and improvements.
You can also choose to include your name and contact details if you wish.

“I want to reinforce our commitment to strengthening relationships, listening to, and learning from the community we serve, and working towards health equity in true co-design, at all stages of health care services development and planning to ensure we are providing high-quality person centred care that is culturally responsive, empowers self-care and choice, and is designed to improve health and wellbeing.”
“If we get this right for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, we’ll get it right for every patient, every community member that comes into our health service.”
“Health Equity for me, my family and community is about making sure that we’re able to access services without fear.”
“Health Equity is not just for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, it’s for non-Indigenous people to understand what we go through as well.”
“With this journey now, we need to keep on doing. It’s not moving as quickly as it should be, but we are getting there.”
“We can’t do things alone. From your doctors, your surgeons, your medical staff, all the team – we’ve got to be involved.”
“I am proud of who I am and that I’m an Elder in the local community. Because of my life experiences I know of the changes within the health services, especially where mob are concerned. The health eq4uity journey is exciting. Being an Elder I expect the respect that I deserve and am always willing to give advice when and where it is needed.”
