Position Statement Eliminating institutional racism

At Children’s Health Queensland, we believe:

• all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people should have access to
  culturally safe and respectful healthcare and services to improve health and wellbeing outcomes.
• we have a collective responsibility, as part of the health system, to address all forms of interpersonal
  and institutional racism and racial health inequity within our hospital and health service.
• health equity can only be achieved by understanding, identifying, acknowledging and
  eliminating interpersonal and institutional racism in the healthcare system, led by both
  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff.
