Reconciliation means working together in partnership to acknowledge past injustices with a commitment to shaping a unified future. A reconciled Australia will be a place where the traditions, cultures and continuing contributions of First Nations Peoples are respected, valued and celebrated by all Australians.
As we embark on this journey at Goodstart West Kempsey, we are committed to walking alongside the Dunghutti People and engaging with Dunghutti Elders and community members, the Traditional Custodians of this Land, to support a two-way learning process.
