Althea Projects Incorporated (Althea Projects) recognise and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia as the First Nations Peoples of this Country. Althea Projects acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we walk, work and live, the Bindal and Juru peoples of the Burdekin, the Gudjal peoples of Charters Towers, the Bindal and Wulgurukaba peoples of the Townsville region and the Yirandhali peoples of Hughenden, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We also acknowledge the Australian South Sea Islander peoples for their contribution to our communities.
We pay tribute to their enduring stewardship of this Country, and honor their ongoing contribution to the spiritual, environmental, social, cultural, political, and economic fabric of our society. This acknowledgement is integral to the process of healing, recovery and development of relationships and our shared future with The First Nations Peoples of Australia.
Althea Projects’ vision continues to be committed to ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families, children and young people who are in contact with the child protection, family support and homelessness networks have the opportunity to reach their full potential in a reconciled community. As part of our everyday practices, we strive to find opportunities to work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to build relationships and increase cultural understanding so that our work with and alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and families supports the goals identified by all that access our services. For Althea Projects this means that we ensure our services, and all our interactions are culturally safe, culturally welcoming and culturally respectful.
Althea Projects continues to have a firm commitment to embrace, engender respect for, and celebrate the cultures of Australia’s First Nations people through the enactment of this Reconciliation Action Plan and this Vision.
Reconciliation remains at the heart of our organisation and is embedded in all of our programs and services. Our RAP reflects our commitment to building strong, respectful relationships and creating opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Through our Reconciliation Action Plan we aim to deepen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait cultures, histories and perspectives. As part of our responsibility to assist and acknowledge past injustices and hurts, this plan will provide a strong framework, list of accountabilities and vision for any person to use within our organisation.
Our RAP is a message to our partners, stakeholders and the broader community that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, places and cultures matter at Althea Projects, and more importantly, we will be active, visible and accountable in our endeavours to play a role in a reconciled community. Providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and having our RAP to guide us is now part of our organisations DNA. As an organisation we are thriving from reconciliation practices and processes being an everyday part of our day-to-day.
It is my personal commitment to ensure that our RAP will be an active document that will guide all our actions, decisions and processes at Althea Projects. As we move forward, we will embrace and learn from this continuous journey and we will proudly continue to stand alongside and be guided by the First Nations People of our community.
