Milestones Early Learning Officer

For  Milestones Officer, reconciliation means actively contributing to a culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment that honours Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories, cultures, and perspectives. It involves acknowledging the true histories of Australia, including the ongoing impact of colonisation on First Peoples, and recognising the Traditional Custodians of the Land. Reconciliation is about embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives meaningfully into the curriculum and daily practices, not as one-off events but as part of everyday learning. It also means building respectful, genuine relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities, and ensuring that their voices are valued within the centre. As a Milestones Officer, it’s essential to observe and support children’s development by ensuring practices are inclusive, reflective, and culturally responsive. Ultimately, reconciliation is about fostering respect, truth-telling, equity, and connection and creating a space where every child and family feels seen, heard, and valued.
