Building better, brighter futures for children is at the heart of everything we do at Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network. This goes beyond healthcare—it’s about creating meaningful, positive change in the world children grow up in.
On National Close the Gap Day, we came together to honour the strength and resilience of the world’s oldest continuing cultures, and to launch our Aboriginal Cultural Safety Framework. This marks our commitment to delivering culturally safe care, strengthening human connection by listening deeply to patients and families and learning continuously about communities and cultures.
We recognise that achieving equitable, high-quality healthcare means change within our systems. We are working to ensure our services are accessible to Aboriginal children and families, and that cultural safety is not an add-on, but a fundamental part of care.
We look forward to building culturally safe spaces where Aboriginal people feel respected, safe, and see their culture valued across our Network. Our framework is an important step in supporting children and young people live their healthiest lives.
