• We've heard from Jewish healthcare workers who have hidden their Jewish identity at work. What does it do to a person when they feel they have to conceal such an important part of who they are?
Where should we draw the line between a healthcare professional's right to express a political opinion and the responsibility to ensure that a patient feels safe and receives impartial care?
• Do you think political symbols or political activism have a place in clinical environments, particularly when patients may be unconscious, frightened or otherwise vulnerable?
• There is now evidence that antisemitism is a systemic issue rather than simply a handful of incidents. AHPRA told the Commission that it received 40 antisemitism complaints in the 12 months to June 2026, while also acknowledging substantial under-reporting. We've heard concerns that Jewish healthcare workers sometimes don't report antisemitism because they fear repercussions. Why are people reluctant to complain, and what would make the system safer for them?
• What needs to change in complaints and regulatory processes so that people have confidence that their concerns will actually be heard?
