A former midwife at one of Sydney’s largest public hospitals who was referred to by a racist slur on a workplace whiteboard says the health system needs to do more to create culturally safe workspaces.
Renee Bani, a Kaanju and Wagadagam woman, worked at the Royal Prince Alfred hospital for seven years, primarily with the Aboriginal midwifery group practice program at the Camperdown campus. The program aims to provide Indigenous women and their babies with culturally safe care before, during and after birth.
