At PHWMCC, our vision is to contribute to a reconciled future between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider Australian community by learning about and respectfully sharing knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and cultures and deepening our understanding of the injustices of the past and their continuing impacts in the present. It is essential to involve our entire community in this changing future, especially children from a young age. In pursuit of our vision, we will learn and grow together, improving our community’s knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' perspectives. We will do this by deepening our understanding, acceptance, and openness.
We strive to be an organisation who leads their community in building a future of reconciliation that is strengthened by the unity of all Australians. Our role is to raise awareness of reconciliation and the significance of recognising and respecting the histories, cultures and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as part of our shared national story and identity and to provide the opportunities for our community to come on this learning journey to create a positive mindset. We strive to create a future based on mutual respect, mutual resolve, and mutual relationships.
