Goodstart Carrum Downs - Frankston-Dandenong Road

At Goodstart Early Learning Centre Carrum Downs, Frankston - Dandenong Road, we are committed to actively participating in reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community. We strive to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for all communities, with a particular focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, and community members. We are dedicated to promoting and providing equal and equitable opportunities for everyone. At our Carrum Downs, Frankston - Dandenong Road Centre, we uphold principles of equality, equity, and a respectful understanding of our shared histories. We strive to walk together in the spirit of true reconciliation.

This Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) acknowledges our commitment to reconciliation, outlining our efforts to develop a culturally responsive service that respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. We are dedicated to continually learning and walking together to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are respectfully embedded in all aspects of our service, strengthening cultural connections and fostering a strong sense of belonging for children and families. We recognise and continue value the central role that culture plays in the lives of First Nations children, families, and communities. As a centre, we also acknowledge the significant advantages and real-life benefits that come from embracing and practicing reconciliation in both our professional and personal lives. This commitment enhances our service to the community and ensures that we continue to grow as a center dedicated to reconciliation.
