Reconciliation Action Plan

Stretch: 2023 - 2025

Together, by Charmaine Mumbulla.

Our vision for reconciliation is to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through preventing and minimising the harm of alcohol and other drugs.

We are committed to being courageous in continuing our important journey of reconciliation. We embrace the opportunity to deepen our understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, of the truth of Australian history and its ongoing impact on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians today. We seek to strengthen our role in making a positive and meaningful difference in respect and opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. We will develop our capacity to role model cultural respect and safety and making it business as usual within the workplace.

We will take the time to understand our shortcomings and adapt as we learn new ways of working. We will work collaboratively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, create equitable partnerships and focus on outcomes that are defined by and beneficial to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
