Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: What we believe

At Phyllis Tuckwell, we believe everyone should be able to access compassionate, high-quality palliative and end-of-life care. We strive to provide tailored support for our patients, their families and carers, based on their individual needs, beliefs, and experiences. 

We are committed to listening to our communities and adapting our services, so they feel accessible, respectful, and relevant to all who need them. We work to reduce barriers to care and promote fairness and dignity for all. 

To enable us to provide the best possible care for our patients and their families, we believe all our staff and volunteers must also feel safe, valued, and supported. Inclusive, welcoming environments are what our staff and volunteers deserve and help us provide the best possible care for our patients and their families. This means that racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other form of discriminatory language, abuse or behaviour is unacceptable within any of the environments where we operate.  

Our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion is critical to us continuing to provide the best possible care for patients and their families. We will continue to listen, learn and improve - so that our care and our culture reflect the communities we serve. 

Gender pay gap

All organisations employing 250 or more employees are required to report annually on their gender pay gap.

The gender pay gap differs from equal pay:

• Equal pay means that men and women in the same employment performing equal work must receive equal pay.
• The gender pay gap is a measure of the difference between men's and women's average earnings over a defined period of time, regardless of role or seniority and is expressed as a percentage of men's earnings.
