Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians, and a national culture that represents equality and equity, historical acceptance of our shared history and removal of negative race relations. Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We recognise the diverse and dynamic nature of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples deep connections with lands, waters and communities. We will ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples cultures are valued, respected and affirmed across all areas of our service.  We will ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, and all children, have the equal and equitable opportunities to exercise choices about the way in which they lead meaningful, healthy lives, including those which sustain their cultures. Through understanding, collaboration, and mutual respect, we strive to build a society that values and celebrates indigenous culture, histories, and contributions. Together, we can create and harmonious and inclusive future where all voices are heard, and all people are treated with dignity and equality.
