Goodstart Early Learning recognises and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood services are offered. We acknowledge the connections Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the ancient histories of Australia. Goodstart is committed to building and maintaining respectful relationships based on 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 that we gain as we establish strong links between Goodstart and the children, families and communities with whom we work. On a foundation of equity, integrity and respect we create high quality early learning experiences for all children. Goodstart commits to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians and supports closing the gap in education and employment outcomes and opportunities.
