At Torquay YMCA Early Learning Centre, we believe all First Nations peoples should feel seen, included, respected and acknowledged within our community. We will ensure our service is a safe place that meaningfully recognises the Country we are living and working on, and the importance of the first true Custodians of the Land we are on, in Wadawurrung.
We are committed to engaging with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and all members of the community. We will support and provide meaningful opportunities for the younger generations to deepen their understanding and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures and reconciliation.
We encourage our community and future generations to be inclusive and respectful and engage in the cultural wisdom of those from Wadawurrung Country.
