We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country across Australia.
HousingFirst operates on the land of the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin nation.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
A first step
Our RAP is a pivotal step in HousingFirst’s reconciliation journey and reflects the vision of our staff, Board and residents for an equitable and inclusive nation.
Our Vision for Reconciliation
For First Nations peoples to have equal access to safe housing and life opportunities.
For the histories and cultures of First Nations peoples to be recognised and valued as pivotal elements of Australia’s history and identity.
In recognition of First Nations peoples’ deep connection with Country, we will ensure our community housing is a safe and inviting space for First Nations peoples to connect with land and place.
Our Pledge
We will build and strengthen relationships with First Nations peoples, organisations and communities.
We will embed the principles of reconciliation, cultural safety and self-determination within our operations and our service provision and continuously strive for improvement.
Here is our plan to take those first steps to realising this Vision and Pledge:
