Inclusion for All, Always
Our Collective Responsibility
At the heart of our commitment lies the belief that every member of our organisation, regardless of their background, carries the dual responsibility of not only feeling like they belong but also actively contributing to the creation and sustenance of an inclusive environment.Â
We understand that true inclusivity can only be achieved when it’s a collective effort, and this ethos guides us every step of the way.
Upholding Values in Law, Practice, and Culture
We are firmly grounded in the belief that government laws, regulations, and business practices should be pillars upholding the principles of diversity, inclusion, and equality. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about a deep-seated commitment to creating a workplace where people can authentically be themselves, thereby bringing their best selves both professionally and personally.
This commitment extends beyond mere words and policies. It permeates our culture, shaping how we operate on a day-to-day basis. Inclusion is not just a checkbox; it’s an integral part of our DNA.
Strength in Diversity
We take pride in our diverse workforce, recognising that our differences make us stronger. Diversity isn’t just about ticking boxes on a demographic chart; it’s about fostering a kinder, more innovative, and more creative atmosphere. It’s about creating an environment where various perspectives, experiences, and talents converge to drive excellence.

Our commitment to diversity isn’t just about recruitment; it’s about nurturing and celebrating that diversity. It’s about ensuring that every member of our team feels valued, respected, and heard.
Embracing All Dimensions of Diversity
We believe in an inclusive culture that recognises and respects all dimensions of diversity. We reject any form of discrimination, be it based on age, ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, religion, or sexual orientation.
Age Inclusivity
We understand that age brings valuable experience and perspectives. We encourage intergenerational collaboration, where wisdom meets innovation, creating a dynamic work environment.
Ability Inclusivity
We are committed to providing a supportive and accessible workplace for individuals of all abilities. We actively seek to remove physical and attitudinal barriers, ensuring that everyone has equal opportunities to excel.
Ethnic and Cultural Inclusivity
Our commitment to diversity includes fostering an environment where individuals from different ethnic backgrounds can celebrate their heritage while also feeling a sense of belonging within GS Vets. We actively promote cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.
Gender Inclusivity
We firmly believe that gender should not limit anyone’s potential. Our policies and practices ensure that individuals of all gender identities and expressions have equal opportunities for growth and leadership at GS Vets
Religious and Spiritual Inclusivity
We respect and accommodate various religious beliefs and spiritual practices, allowing our employees to bring their whole selves to work without fear of bias or discrimination.
LGBTQ+ Inclusivity
We stand with the LGBTQ+ community, championing their rights and ensuring a safe and welcoming workplace for all sexual orientations and gender identities.
Our Journey Ahead
While we have made significant strides in building an inclusive culture, we recognise that our journey is ongoing. We are committed to continuous learning and improvement, listening to the voices of our employees, and evolving our practices to align with our values.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is not just a statement—it’s a promise. A promise to create a workplace where every individual can thrive, where innovation knows no bounds, and where we can better serve our clients and communities through the collective strength of our diverse and inclusive team.
We are not just building an inclusive culture; we are nurturing it, cherishing it, and making it the beating heart of Greater Springfield Veterinary. Together, we are not just a company; we are a community where every voice matters, where every individual thrives, and where the future is shaped by the power of diversity and inclusion. This is our journey, and we invite you to be part of it.
We recognise and pay our respects to the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul peoples as the traditional owners of this land which was never ceded.
