Our organisational values shape our culture

We are one team made up of individuals from more than sixty countries who respect and include each other in every way.

We are researchers, students, teachers, advisors, technicians, professional service experts and we are better together and brighter together.

We collaborate on the most challenging health issues and are committed to long term discovery. We understand that teamwork requires each of us to be individually accountable for the contributions that we make.

The unquestioned inclusion of every person, every day, empowers each of us to make a difference and support each other to thrive. Because inclusion means we can better leverage the richness of our diversity – a creative force that broadens views, enhances ideas, increases productivity and strengthens our science.

We are global citizens who care about individuals, our communities and our footprint. We strive to give back when we can. We care deeply about ethics and act with integrity and we are motivated by the impact of the work that we do. We are collectively responsible for being innovative and enriching society through medical discovery and education.

We know that mastery of disease through discovery relies on a relentless pursuit of the highest ethical and technical standards of work.

We challenge each other to progress and innovate, knowing that with risk comes accountability, but that we are safe and supported when we disagree and when we fail – this is how ideas form and people flourish. It’s why we value creativity because, without new ideas and leaps of imagination, there can be no true innovation.

We are bold and brave, we are open and listen with the intent to learn and understand. We are honest, curious, fair and flexible, with a shared purpose to help one another grow and reach new heights.

We are WEHI.
