Goodstart Heatleys vision for reconciliation is to respectfully engage in ongoing learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and traditions, with a particular focus on the lived experiences and perspectives of our families. We will actively seek to deepen our understanding through conversations with families, ensuring that their knowledge and connections to First Nations communities guide our approach. By embedding First Nations perspectives into our service, we will foster stronger, more respectful relationships between First Nations peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, creating a foundation of mutual respect and shared learning within our community.
