Goodstart Bendoran Crescent is committed to building community partnerships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community based on mutual trust and respect.
We respect and value the insights that we develop through culturally responsive opportunities as we continue to establish and strengthen our relationships between the local First Nation people's community and the children, families, employees and wider communities with whom we work. Through the active, everyday acknowledgement of the Wurundjeri people as the Traditional Owners of the Land on which our service stands, we are committed to providing opportunities that highlight the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives that recognise the unique cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Goodstart commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all other peoples of Australia and supports equity and equality in education and employment.
