At Goodstart Woongarrah, we value and celebrate the cultures and strengths of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been nurturing and teaching children on this Land for centuries, and we honour and respect that role. Our vision for reconciliation is to lay the foundations for current and future generations to value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures and heritage as a proud part of a shared identity. We recognise that the five interrelated dimensions of reconciliation and are committed to playing our part in driving progress across these dimensions. At Goodstart Woongarrah, we are committed to fostering strong, meaningful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community by being actively present, fostering change and paving the way for the current and next generations. As we learn, grow and walk together in reconciliation, we will continue to strive towards creating lasting change which supports the best interests and wellbeing of children, families, our centre community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait community members
