Our Reconciliation Action Plan

The Family Co.’s goal is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, families and communities have access to culturally safe services so that they are connected to their community, identity and culture. Our inclusive practices will contribute to and celebrate a shared understanding and knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rich heritage, histories, traditions, and evolving cultures.

Please find below our latest Reconciliation Action Plan document which outlines our commitment to Reconciliation and respect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, through our work practices. This document is available to download below:
