Our vision for reconciliation is for a fair and just health care system embedded in social justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities in our pursuit of health equality and a united Australia.
Our ambition is to create a better home care system for all Australians. Guided by our world class research, supported with the latest technology, and delivered with the human touch of someone who cares, we are the national leaders of complete care at home and advocate for our clients’ health and wellbeing.
We believe that we can advance reconciliation within Australia if we as an organisation:
- Empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination within the health care system and care decision making
- Strengthen our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
- Recognise the unique contribution Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to our society and the importance of First Nations Peoples’ cultures
- Ensure impact and inclusion by improving the delivery of services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and equal opportunities within our organisation.
