The how Engagement Structure
The project is governed by two main bodies; the RACMA board that is responsible for corporate governance and the Advisory Board responsible for content governance. The Advisory Board comprises representation from Colleges, peak health bodies, and subject matter experts in workplace culture, discrimination and harassment. The project also has 12 reference groups and 5 working groups. The reference groups act as vital consultation bodies, offering grassroots-level information to support the working groups and project team. Currently we have 12 reference groups with 151 members across all. The Working Groups supports the Advisory Board via the provision of content expertise and implementation support across the system

The next steps A clear pathway forward
Phase One of our project successfully concluded in early 2024, and we are excited to be progressing with Phase Two. After consultation with key organisations and grassroots stakeholders the Advisory Board endorsed the work program; Phase Two will deliver an overarching national strategic approach for change. This involves three thematic focus areas:
- Setting expectations for workplace behaviour
- Career-long learning and development
- Measurement and action
The reference groups were a critical part of development of the Phase Two work plan and will continue to be called upon for their insights during Phase Two. There are also 5 working groups who will consult with the reference groups as they build their outputs.
