Acknowledgement of Country
The Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network respectfully acknowledges Aboriginal people as the traditional custodians of the land in which our health facilities are located and the areas from which our patients reside. We pay our respects to the Elders, community members and the Aboriginal services and organisations who partner with us to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our Network.
The Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network facilities are situated on the traditional lands of the Bidjigal people of the Eora nation in the east, and the Burramattagal people of the Dharug nation in the west.
The NSW Ministry of Health developed 'Stepping Up', a dedicated NSW Health recruitment website, to assist with the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal applicants into the NSW Health system.
This online resource is designed to provide Aboriginal applicants and NSW Health managers with a wide range of information to improve the recruitment of Aboriginal employees within NSW Health.
