Carpentaria’s vision for reconciliation is an organisation-wide commitment to a shared understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and acknowledgement of the detrimental and long lasting impacts of colonisation.
We are committed to the improved knowledge and understanding of injustices and inequalities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people. Our commitment to better understand will guide our reflection and progress to provide positive outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples supported at every level throughout the organisation.
We will work together to deliver services that are safe, welcoming and inclusive for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We will strive to create strong partnerships through our networks which advocate for cultural inclusion and contribute to appropriate and culturally safe support services and better well-being outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) encapsulates what we as an organisation commit to achieving over the next 12 months, as we work towards true reconciliation. This plan is representative of what we can achieve together, and we look forward to sharing more about our journey as we work collaboratively towards visible reconciliation.
