FAST FACTS

In July 2019, BaptistCare was announced as a White Ribbon Workplace, being officially recognised as a workplace pioneer in contributing to national cultural change to prevent and respond to violence against women.

Our community services and head office sites were accredited in July 2017, however following 18 months of preparing our response and evidence against the workplace standards, our whole of organisation accreditation was successfully achieved.

White Ribbon commended our work, stating that “despite a geographically dispersed workforce, many of whom do not have regular workplace computer access, BaptistCare NSW & ACT has used a range of methods to ensure all staff are aware of its work in domestic and family violence.”

Our staff have also engaged with our More Than Skin Deep education and awareness initiative, familiarising themselves with the Recognise, Respond, Refer approach, while participating in special events across the organisation.

BaptistCare is not only committed to ending violence against women through our services and accreditation; we are an organisation that will always work hard at establishing a workplace culture of respect and gender equality.
