Our Pledge Against Racism
June 11, 2020
Recent events have compelled the Institute to reaffirm its commitment to recognising, addressing and eradicating all forms of racism and ethnic oppression.
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute condemns racism, and we stand in strong support of Indigenous and Black communities in Australia and around the world.
The Institute embraces and celebrates diversity in all its facets. We strive to eradicate all forms of discrimination, but we understand that we can do more in our efforts to address racism. We look for opportunities to do better. We understand that bias can be unconscious or unintentional, and we know that we have to continuously educate ourselves to not perpetuate oppression.
As an organisation that is dedicated to the relief of pain and suffering and the promotion of wellbeing, this is our pledge:
We make this pledge with the shared knowledge and belief that #BlackLivesMatter.
