Goodstart Hope Island

Our vision for reconciliation at Goodstart Hope Island is for Goodstarters to continue engaging with reconciliation on both a personal and professional level, creating the conditions that support social justice, equality and equity for all people. Through this vision, we are laying the foundations to grow current and future generations that value and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and heritages as a proud part of a shared identity. Our vision is to meaningfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, perspectives and histories into our everyday program and practices. We will plan and provide respectful experiences that explore fairness, justice and equity.  

We acknowledge the RAP is a continual process and we will add to it as we grow individually, as a team and as an organisation. Our commitment mirrors our organisation's values of respect for diversity, inclusion, advocating the rights of children, justice, honesty and courage. 

By deepening our understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures, we develop an enriched appreciation of the diverse cultural heritages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and move towards the maturity of Australia as a nation.
