Self-Determination – ensuring that our focus is underpinned by the rights of Aboriginal people to make decisions that impact their lives, recognising the interests of Aboriginal children, young people, families and carers, and communities in all that we do.
Independence and Solutions Focused – serving the interests of Aboriginal children, young people, families, people with disability, communities and the organisations that support them to deliver holistic approaches to issues impacting them.
Transparency and Commitment – remaining committed to our people in everything we do, ensuring our actions are clear and promoted at every opportunity.
