Chandni Kantaria

In this episode of Sisters in Colour, we sit down with Chandni — Advanced Care Paramedic, advocate, and passionate voice for equity, diversity and inclusion in healthcare. Working with the Queensland Ambulance Service, Chandni has also stepped into a Senior Advisor role within the Fair and Inclusive Practice Unit, contributing to cultural change and helping shape more inclusive workplaces and services. Her work is grounded in a strong belief that healthcare should be culturally competent, representative of the communities it serves, and built with the voices of the people most affected at the table. In this conversation, we explore representation in healthcare, meaningful inclusion, co-design, cultural change and the importance of creating systems where people feel seen, respected and understood. Chandni also speaks about the values that guide her beyond the workplace — from advocating for vulnerable communities to treating children with kindness, dignity and respect. This is a conversation about using your voice, challenging the status quo and creating change that goes beyond policy — into the way people are treated, supported and cared for.
