Standards for Workforce Mutuality (1st Edition)
The Standards were developed with the support of an Expert Advisory Panel from across the health, community, employment, higher education and corporate sectors. They address a whole range of aspects of people’s diversity: cultural and linguistic, gender, sexual, ability and more.
The HealthWest Partnership Standards for Workforce Mutuality were launched in May 2018. They provide organisations with guidelines to build inclusive employment pathways with the community and be more responsive to the needs of a hugely diverse community.
