In alignment with Goodstart Early Learning’s vision for reconciliation, Goodstart Moama recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and Traditional Custodians of the Lands on which our early childhood services are offered. We acknowledge the link that they have with the ancient and continuing histories of Australia through the Land from which our early learning environments have been created. Goodstart Moama is committed to building partnerships based on mutual trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as enduring, living cultures and we respect and value the cultural insights we learn as we establish strong links between Goodstart and the children, families and local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with whom we work. On a foundation of equity, equality, integrity and respect we create high quality early learning experiences for all children. Goodstart Moama commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people and supports the provision of equal and equitable education and employment opportunities and outcomes.
