Our vision for reconciliation is health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our vision can be achieved through building relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses, midwives and broader communities, working together to identify and provide opportunities to build capacity and realise potential.
We will work towards our vision by modelling respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; promoting understanding of their rights and leading the nursing and midwifery professions in respect and sharing knowledge with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We will adopt the principles of reconciliation as part of our core work, and will model and encourage promotion of reconciliation throughout the nursing and midwifery professions.
The ANMF has made a commitment to work to address health inequalities experienced by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This RAP acts on that commitment and helps us to focus on keeping the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the national agenda.
