As members of AFMW, we are committed to advancing the professional development, education, and training of medical women. Our goal is to enhance health and welfare, particularly for women and children in Australia.
To reach this goal, every AFMW member should encourage a positive and healthy culture where everyone’s contributions are valued, and everyone is treated with respect, dignity, and fairness. Teamwork and mutual respect are key.
Members can expect to be treated with respect, dignity, and fairness. Bullying or harassment will not be accepted.
This Code helps us achieve our goals by fostering a positive culture. Please get to know the Code and follow its principles.
