Peter Mac’s plans and strategies below set out our commitment to providing both safe and inclusive care and equitable employment opportunities. We aim to build a diverse workforce, representative of the community we serve.
Gender Equality Action Plan
The Gender Equality Action Plan sets out Peter Mac’s commitment to address seven workforce gender equality indicators. A safe and included workforce lets us deliver the best cancer care for patients. This plan also provides the framework for conducting Equity Impact Assessments on policies, programs, and services that have a significant and direct impact on the public.

Disability Accessibility Plan
Peter Mac's Disability Accessibility Plan 2025 - 2030. Peter Mac’s Disability Accessibility Plan 2025 - 2030 explains how we will improve the care, experience, and inclusion of people with disabilities. Developed with the help of our community, it sets out clear, practical actions to embed accessibility and inclusion across everything we do. To make sure our plan is accessible for as many people as possible, we have created three versions which can be found on the Disability Support page.

Intersectionality Position Statement
We use an intersectionality lens to engage in our work. This underpins, influences, and improves our approach to diversity and inclusion in healthcare.

Reconciliation Action Plan
Peter Mac’s vision for reconciliation is that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this country will be restored to a place of equity, dignity, and respect. We aspire to the healing of our national soul and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures to be fully valued, with broken relationships restored and social inequalities eradicated.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan, or RAP, is an agreed strategy on how we intend to contribute to reducing the gap in cancer outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Australians.

First Nations Employment Strategy
Our inaugural First Nations Employment Strategy sets out our goals to promote First Nations leadership and self-determination across the organisation, increase employment participation of First Nations peoples at Peter Mac, provide culturally safe supports to First Nations staff, and increase cultural competency among non-Indigenous staff.
