Diversity & inclusion fuels our mission
We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive environment that embraces and values varied skills, experiences, backgrounds, and cultural perspectives. MSD has a long-standing commitment to creating an organisation that is diverse and a culture that is inclusive and socially responsible.
Our workforce represents the people we serve
Diversity and inclusion (D&I) are not just words – they are the reason we are able to deliver on our promise to invent for life. We foster a diverse workforce where employees feel comfortable bringing their unique perspectives and their whole self to work.

Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Our Reflect RAP centres around strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.

Gender Equality
We are proud that our efforts to continually advance gender equality have meant MSD has been named an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) by Australia’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) for five consecutive years.

Flexibility
Flexible working means our employees don’t have to choose between work and leading fulfilling personal lives. At MSD, flexible work plans include part-time, job sharing, compressed work weeks, flexible work hours, purchased annual leave, remote working and other hybrid arrangements to fit both individual needs and those of our business.

Our suppliers should be as diverse as the patients we serve
Our diverse supplier base helps us understand the needs of our people and patients. That’s why we engage a wide range of partners.
