Improving health decisions and outcomes

Reconciliation - coming together
NPS MedicineWise is committed to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
To help us deliver on that commitment, we have a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), endorsed by Reconciliation Australia. Our RAP outlines actions, responsibilities, targets and timelines across a range of themes for achieving our vision of reconciliation, and offers opportunities for everyone across NPS MedicineWise to get involved.
