Anglicare is committed to respecting the culture, land and history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. To offer support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, in May 2017 we relaunched our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Anglicare values the knowledge, understanding, experience and relationships held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Employment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff strengthens our organisation, bringing new ways of viewing complex problems with which we work while assisting to combat bias that limits our capacity to listen well and think clearly.
