Diversity

Perth District Health Unit’s Diversity Statement
We believe that diversity enriches the communities in which we live and work. The Perth District Health Unit (PDHU) celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of race; background; education; ethnicity; language; culture; religion; sexual orientation; gender or gender identity; marital, parental or family status; age; ability or economic status. PDHU will work to promote equal access and an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. It is our hope that every client, community member, volunteer or staff person will see himself/herself as valued in the organization and in the community.
