We establish collaborative partnerships that value equality between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. In this shared environment, we emphasise trust, respect, and mutual understanding. Our approach involves close cooperation with staff, clients, organisations, and communities, ensuring an inclusive and supportive space for all.
We recognise the historical injustices and the disparities in rights experienced by Aboriginal people. To address these, we have established key initiatives aimed at enhancing our services, promoting ongoing learning, and progressing on our journey towards reconciliation.
Key aspects of our approach include:
We will recognise and celebrate significant events and dates of importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We prioritise cultural intelligence, service delivery and employment processes, demonstrating our values of inclusivity and respect.
All staff actively participate in ongoing cultural competency training, learning from First Nations People, each other and the community.
We actively foster a robust relationship with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and cultural services, ensuring meaningful engagement.
Our RAP focuses on improving opportunities for First Nations People staff and clients by creating culturally safe spaces, building understanding and respectful relationships.
We seek feedback from First Nations Peoples and communities to support us to appropriately advocate for their needs.
We encourage and facilitate First Nations People’s participation in our governance processes to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are heard.
