Vision, Mission and Values » Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

We will do this by:

  • Working with other services and agencies collaboratively to meet the needs of our clients.
  • Striving to ensure that all of our children and young people are in a caring and secure environment with their own mob and culture whenever it is possible.
  • Providing support and care during difficult times of upheaval, homelessness, family crisis and stress while respecting the clients need for space and privacy.
  • Working together as a team to support each other.
  • Updating our knowledge and skills.
  • Consulting clients, families, children, and young people about decisions that affect them and for their opinions to be heard on these issues.
  • Being fair and non-judgemental, allowing all involved parties to present their point of view.
  • Being sensitive to gender, cultural and religious beliefs, sexual preference, disability, and other special needs.
  • Using preventative strategies and responding to client needs as early as possible.
  • Ensuring clients, children / young people (where possible and appropriate) and their families are consulted and involved in casework decisions which affect them.
  • Supporting other service providers through community liaison, education, and networking.
  • Assisting our carers and families to become confident and knowledgeable parents/carers by passing on skills and information in a relaxed and culturally appropriate manner.
  • Liaising on behalf of our people whenever referral to another service is necessary.
  • Assisting our people by offering culturally appropriate support and mentoring.
