We will demonstrate this through gaining a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and learning; by respectfully reflecting that knowledge at all levels of our service.  Improving access to our service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families and developing genuine, respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities to create a sense security of belonging for all in our  community.
