The RANZCP is committed to addressing the longstanding and unacceptable inequities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia, and Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand, in health outcomes and access to culturally safe mental health care. These inequities reflect the enduring impacts of colonisation, structural disadvantage, systemic racism, and barriers to appropriate and accessible services. Addressing them is central to the College’s vision of equitable mental health care and to its responsibility as a professional and system leader.

The College will advance this commitment by strengthening and sustaining the Indigenous psychiatric workforce, embedding cultural safety across training and professional practice, and ensuring its policy, advocacy and service leadership are grounded in culturally responsive and accountable approaches. This includes increasing the representation of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Māori peoples across College structures, strengthening education in culturally safe care, and progressing the College’s commitments through its Reconciliation Action Plan and responsibilities in relation to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
