We Deliver

Trauma-informed and person-centred support within a culturally sensitive environment.

We Believe

In supporting our staff to develop and share their expertise and to build the capacity of staff, participants, stakeholders and the community.

Above all, we know that together we can achieve great things.

Our Values

We C-A-R-E-S

Caring

Caring is listening to others without judgement. We show that We Care with thoughtful acts, kind words and always acting in a culturally respectful way. We look out for each other and notice how others feel and what they need. When We Care for ourselves and others, we act in ways that support our safety, health and wellbeing. When We Care for ourselves, we have more to give to others.

Accountability

Accountability is delivering on what we say we will do and taking responsibility for the outcomes of our choices, even when we make a mistake. With accountability people can rely on and trust us, because we deliver on our word and are answerable for our actions. We give our best to whatever we undertake.

Respect

Respect is an attitude of honouring ourselves and others as people of value. We Care for each person’s dignity and all individuals right to feel valued. Everyone has the right to expect respect. We show respect in the courtesy of our words, the tone of our voice and through our actions. When we treat others as we would like to be treated, we raise the level of trust and peace in our relationships.

Empowerment

Honouring voice, choice and identity enables people to be leaders in their own story. We support empowerment when we listen without judgment so others can speak up about what is important to them, voice their ideas and concerns and participate as equal partners in decisions that affect them. We assist others to see and access options available to them. When we enable choice for others we support their right to pursue their goals and determine what is in their own best interest. When we appreciate each individual, we honour and respect their unique identity.

Safety

Safety is recognising and acting on our individual and collective responsibility to care for our participants, each other and ourselves. We pay full attention to the safe delivery of our services and strive for excellence in delivering best practice care at all times. We are thorough and careful. We give 100% to creating and maintaining a safe environment that supports the physical and psychological wellbeing of all. We welcome feedback and respond quickly and effectively to maintain our safety culture. We apply our individual and collective learning to living the principle, of I Care, You Care We Care.
