Statement from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health Secretary Susan Pearce AM

12 February 2025

​This morning, I was made aware of an utterly disgusting video circulating on social media. ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health immediately launched an investigation and contacted ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Police, who are also investigating.

The appalling comments and hate speech from the individuals in this video do not represent, and never have, the views or values of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health - this includes the 180,000 dedicated, caring and kind people who make up our workforce.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health is committed to fostering an environment of respect and inclusivity. We are proud to provide safe, compassionate and high-quality care to all people across the diverse communities of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø we serve. 

We understand this disturbing video has caused distress. I can assure you we are treating this matter incredibly seriously.

There is absolutely no place in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health for these views or behaviour.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Health condemns the views expressed and behaviour demonstrated in this video and I assure everyone that every person in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø receives safe, respectful care in our hospitals and health services.
