Our vision for reconciliation is for Australians to work together to ensure equal and equitable opportunities and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We continue to deepen our understanding of the living cultures, stories and histories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and ensuring these learnings are embedded and respected by all Australians as part of our national story.
Here at Goodstart Werribee reconciliation means understanding the past and actively engaging in learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s cultures and histories. We work towards a society that recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and comes together in respectful partnerships to promote reconciliation. Goodstart Werribee are committed to building community partnerships based on mutual trust and respect. We respect and value the insights that we gain as we establish strong links between Goodstart Werribee and the children, families, employees and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with whom we work. We recognise the unique cultural rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Goodstart Werribee commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people of Australia and supports equality and equity in education within the Early Childhood Sector and beyond.
