    Our commitment to inclusivity

    The RACP is committed to inclusive and respectful committee environments, and to ensuring its governance structures reflect the breadth of perspectives across its membership and the communities it serves.
    When assessing expressions of interest, the College considers skills and experience alongside the perspectives and lived experience applicants may bring. Any information shared is voluntary and will be treated respectfully.

    The RACP recognises Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand, and acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Indigenous peoples of Australia and Pacific peoples as recognised within the Indigenous Strategic Framework.

    Consistent with the RACP Constitution and the Indigenous Strategic Framework, and informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the College is committed to upholding Indigenous leadership, the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and ensuring cultural safety across committee environments.

    This is not positioned as a subset of diversity, but reflects distinct status, leadership, rights, and contribution
