Diversity and Inclusion Plan
Prioritising diversity and inclusion and placing it at the heart of everything we do is integral to our organisation. It is essential to the success of Carers NSW in achieving our vision for an Australia that values and supports all carers in all their diversity.
We understand and promote the importance of diversity in our workforce so we can reach and support all carers in NSW.
Creating a safe, respectful and inclusive place to work provides the foundation for our staff to successfully contribute to meeting the Carers NSW objectives.
Carers NSW has a Diversity and Inclusion Plan 2023 – 2024 that demonstrates our commitment to, and drives initiatives towards making our workplace inclusive to enable our people to thrive and achieve their professional goals.
Reconciliation Action Plan
The Carers NSW vision for reconciliation is equity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians.
We are committed to bridging the gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander carers, to raise awareness and recognition and improve access to supports and services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander carers and communities.
Carers NSW commenced our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan in January 2023 which highlights the commitments we've made as we continue our journey of reconciliation. The Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan is currently in development and anticipated to be launched late 2024.
