Our Commitment to Safety and Inclusion
Our Ways Strong Together is committed to creating environments — online, in person, and in our work — that are accessible, inclusive, and culturally safe for everyone.
Cultural Safety
Cultural safety is fundamental to who we are and how we work.
We recognise the strength, knowledge and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We are committed to ensuring that our spaces are culturally safe, free from racism and discrimination.
Our commitment includes:
- Embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership and self-determination in our governance and decision-making
- Ensuring culturally responsive communication and engagement
- Respecting cultural protocols and community knowledge
- Acknowledging that cultural safety is defined by those receiving the service — not the organisation providing it
- Continuously reflecting on and improving our practice
Cultural safety is not a one-off action. It is an ongoing responsibility that requires humility, accountability and learning.
Accessibility
We are committed to making our website, events, communications and workplaces accessible to people of all abilities.
Our approach includes:
- Designing digital content to be clear, readable and compatible with assistive technologies
- Providing alternative formats of documents upon request
- Offering accessible meeting and event venues wherever possible
- Supporting reasonable adjustments for staff, members and participants
- Using plain language to reduce barriers to understanding
If you require information in a different format (such as large print, audio, or accessible PDF), or need adjustments to participate in our work, please contact us. We will work with you to identify appropriate supports.
