Mission
Healthcare in Australia accounts for 7% of total emissions. From our seminal principle of ‘do no harm’ we must act to foster stewardship of our environment and ensure our health operations are not contributing to environmental harm, which in turn contributes to a developing crisis in health. Our vision is a climate positive future where every community, every neighbourhood and every life is whole and healthy, and this commitment supports our efforts to build a practice-centric sustainable sector across Australia and beyond.
