Working at the RMH

At the RMH, we are committed to the journey of Reconciliation, of working towards self-determination in our healthcare practice, and removing barriers to employment.

Our First Nations Governance Group oversees our many strategic and practical efforts towards cultural safety and support better outcomes for our staff and patients across our services.

What we offer our First Nations staff

We provide opportunities for First Nations staff to connect with each other and build an internal community. For example, there is a monthly ‘Mob Gathering’ with staff from across the Parkville precinct.

We offer ceremonial and cultural leave, and have an online community who share ideas, stories and resources. We also have targeted pathways into clinical roles across the RMH such as medicine and nursing.

First Nations applicants can ask to speak with one of our existing staff members before an interview, or to bring someone to the interview for cultural support if they wish.
