At Goodstart Blackburn- Springfield Road, we are dedicated to fostering a culturally safe, inclusive and respectful environment where all our children, families and staff embrace and engage with Australia’s diverse histories and the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We believe that reconciliation is an ongoing journey and not just a word, it requires reflection and meaningful action. Through authentic relationships, culturally responsive practices, and respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives into our daily programs. We envision a future where every child, family and community we serve is empowered, respected and actively apart of Goodstart Blackburn- Springfield Road and Australia's shared journey of reconciliation.
