Pfizer Australia is actively engaged in the national reconciliation movement, driven by our core value of equity, to address inequitable access to healthcare and health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
As a healthcare company, this work is core to our purpose. We are committed to moving forward with humility, courage and a relentless focus on equity - because every person deserves access to the best possible health outcomes, regardless of their cultural background.
Pfizer Australia is proud to be participating in the Reconciliation Action Plan program through Reconciliation Australia. We’re pleased to have completed our Reflect RAP and to have now commenced our Innovate RAP. The RAP process is an opportunity for us to audit and document our policies, business practices and activities with respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as we work towards further embedding reconciliation in our standard business practices.

The concentric circles symbolise Pfizer as a meeting place, a point of connection with different “circles” of people interacting. The different colours and shapes within the circles symbolise Pfizer as a diverse and inclusive place. The white lines connecting the round shapes indicate the interconnectedness of different groups, people, businesses and services. The colourful, patterned shapes in between represent the different lands, peoples and experiences of health care across the nation.
