Unconscious Bias

What is unconscious bias costing you?  

Whilst everyone holds unconscious beliefs, not all are permanent and steps can be taken to minimise the impacts on our perceptions and behaviours. There is evidence to demonstrate that providing unconscious bias training can reduce bias in the workplace.

In this session we will consider;

•What is bias - unconscious or otherwise?

•5 common biases and what to do about them

•The costs of bias in our workplaces

•Identifying your organisational blindspots

•Your own action plan for easy wins.

This interactive session will enable participants to understand bias in the workplace and provide an opportunity for discussion and conversations that help provide strategies to mitigate the impact on our behaviour and decision making.

​Partnering with DFP was an incredibly positive experience. From the outset, they were proactive, professional and took the time to understand my background and career aspirations as a leader within the Mental Health sector. What truly impressed me was their insight into the healthcare sector and their strong connections with reputable employers, particularly within the Federal Government space. DFP not only helped me secure a role with long term potential but also provided a level of service that made the entire process stress free and rewarding. I highly recommend them to any clinician seeking meaningful and impactful work.

Maggie, Candidate

​DFP has been a reliable and professional partner in supporting our workforce needs. As a Federal Government agency delivering critical mental health services, it is essential that we have access to highly qualified, adaptable and dependable staff. DFP has consistently delivered on this requirement, providing us with highly suitable labour hire candidates who are not only clinically skilled but also aligned with the values required for our clients. They are responsive, reliable and we look forward to continuing our partnership.

Ben, Client

​Mel is an absolute pleasure to work with and provided us with an array of highly skilled Mental Health Clinicians and personable candidates. I cannot recommend Mel and DFP more highly.

Gail, Client

From the very first contact, Mel at DFP Health made me feel at ease. She took the time to understand not only my professional skills but also my passion for Indigenous mental health. Mel supported me every step of the way. Her genuine care, encouragement and personal touches made what could have been a daunting process feel supportive and empowering. Thanks to DFP, I have found a role that is a perfect match for my values and skills.

Ashleigh, Candidate

​From the very beginning, my DFP Consultant Mel was extremely helpful and always available to answer any question I had throughout the recruitment process. I received regular updates, often without even needing to ask, and felt genuinely cared for as an individual. 

Daria, Candidate

DFP provided a professional and supportive service and I would recommend them to anyone.
