About
Multicultural Australia acknowledges the traditional custodians of all the lands on which we meet, work and live. We recognise that this land has always been Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land and always will be.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders—past, present and emerging—and recognise the immense cultural and linguistic strength and diversity that has existed on this land for tens of thousands of years.
Every day, we work to welcome new Australians from across the world. As we do this, we acknowledge the history and current realities of our First Nations people and understand our individual and collective responsibility towards the achievement of justice, equality and reconciliation.
Multicultural Australia and the multicultural communities we work closely with realise that understanding the past helps us shape a better future for all. We commit to learning from the knowledge, traditions, stories, spirituality and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We, who come from many places, acknowledge the welcome offered to us by the traditional custodians of this land, the world’s oldest living culture. We express our desire for deeper connection with Australia’s First Nations people, as we learn to live on their land.
Multicultural Australia respects and values Australia’s First Nations peoples’ enormous resilience, courage, determination and often unrecognised contributions to the country’s social and economic development. We walk together in solidarity, in the pain of the past and in the shared hope for the future.
About
We support a First Nations Voice to Parliament being enshrined in the Australian Constitution. We are advocates for recognition of Indigenous Australians and the opportunity to build a positive future for all our people by supporting the Uluru Statement from the Heart and listening to the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders and community members.
Our advocacy in support of the Voice has included a panel discussion with First Nations leaders and allies to launch our Changing the Conversation series, hosted in partnership with the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), support of Yes campaign events and engaging with First Nations leaders.
We acknowledge that First Nations individuals and communities encounter distinct challenges when it comes to accessing services. We embed a culturally informed and client-centered approach that aims to empower our First Nations clients.
Our Reconciliation and Solidarity Working Group leads an organisation wide strategy to continuously develop our reconciliation commitments to meaningful transformation for First Nations communities. The group reflect on the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and through a process of listening and research, are embedding innovative practices that appropriately reflect the needs and aspirations of Indigenous Australians.
