Reconciliation Action Plan

B. Braun vision for developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is to validate our commitment to strengthening advancing reconciliation through building relationships with First Nations peoples and improving the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who access our service. As an organisation we acknowledge and recognise the historical, and inequalities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, that as a result of colonisation they have been confronted with injustices of poor health and wellbeing which reverberates across communities and generations. 

We are committed to existing and developing new working relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations as this is fundamental to our ability to work effectively to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes. This will enhance our awareness of health and culture, while learning about the challenges and issues faced by local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

B. Braun has formed a dedicated RAP Working Group (RWG) with members from all levels in our organisation which include: the Director Ambulatory Channel, Director of Nursing (RAP Champion), Safety and Quality Manager, Operations Manager, HR Manager and two patients who are First Nations people. Our RAP has been developed with input from members of this group and with recommendations and guidance from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
