Our vision for reconciliation is to learn about and acknowledge the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Â We envision a future where every child, family, and community we serve is empowered, respected, and actively a part of Goodstarts and Australias shared journey of reconciliation. Â We believe that reconciliation is about more than just words; its about meaningful actions. We are dedicated to deep listening, engaging with First Nations communities, staff, Elders, and knowledge holders to shape our reconciliation journey and our centres learning experiences. We recognise the importance of stronger First Nations representation across all role types and in leadership positions. Â We are committed to ongoing learning and improvement in our reconciliation efforts. Through our work with children, families and communities we seek to listen, learn and deepen our understanding and respect of First Nations cultures, tell the true stories of Australias history, and to care for the Land on which we live, work, play and learn.
