Our Vision

Our vision is for our Aboriginal community to be the one of the healthiest in Australia, through our dedication and commitment to ‘Closing the Gap’ between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities in sustained employment, career development and leadership.
Growing and developing a highly skilled Aboriginal workforce is a tangible and powerful way of impacting the health and well-being of Aboriginal communities and of ensuring culturally-centred care is provided.

The District recognises the importance of the voices and experience of our Aboriginal workforce and seeks to continually and consistently consult, with input strongly valued as a part of the planning and development process for Aboriginal Workforce. A shared understanding of this work is that our services and programs need to be founded on addressing Aboriginal people within the context of their family, workplace, community and culture and that strategies must be Aboriginal-led.
