Goodstart Thornlie acknowledges and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and as the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our early childhood service is offered. Our team believes in maintaining partnerships based on trust, respect and recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ 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 equality and equity in education and employment.
