core-values

CORE values are central to the culture of all NSW Health organisations

NSW Health’s culture is defined by our Core Values: Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment. These values guide the way we work by setting the standards and expectations for how we interact with each other and with patients, families and carers.

The Core Values have long been a key component of our culture and remain relevant as we look to the future.

HETI was a finalist in the 2017 NSW Health Awards for the CORE Chat - Our Values in Action program that provides NSW Health employees with training to enable cultural change.

CORE Chat - Our Values in Action: Virtual Classroom can be booked through My Health Learning.
