First Nations people

We are committed to delivering our Reconciliation Action Plan and working collaboratively with First Nations communities. 

Our vision for reconciliation is for a fair and just health care system embedded in social justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities in our pursuit of health equality and a united Australia. 

At Silverchain we recognise the disparities Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face in health, wellbeing, social and economic equality in Australia. We believe we can advance reconciliation within Australia if we as an organisation:

• Empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self determination within the health care system. 
• Strengthen our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. 
• Recognise the importance of First Nations Peoples’ cultures and their unique contribution to our society. 
• Ensure impact and inclusion and equal opportunities within our organisation.   

Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) gives us the opportunity to become more culturally competent, socially just and sustainable. We will achieve this by building stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to improve the delivery of services in the community.
