Strategic Goals
2022 – 2025
Our Reconciliation Action Plan
We have recently started on our reconciliation journey with the endorsement of our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
Read more about the commitments and actions we are undertaking as part of our Reflect RAP, to address inequalities, and increase economic equity and self determination for First Nations communities.
First Nations People & Volunteering
We are committed to an on-going process of reconciliation, acknowledging the historical and continued impact of colonisation and systemic racism on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People. We are dedicated to building an organisation that prioritises the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People, and respects their histories and cultures. We aim to be inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People within our organisation and the volunteering community.
