We operate across diverse communities in Western Australia, including areas with strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander connections. We are committed to ensuring our care is culturally safe, respectful and inclusive. Our values of I listen, I act, I don’t give up and we work as one will guide our efforts to remove barriers, increase understanding and provide services that reflect the needs of the communities we serve.
SCCWA Chief Executive Officer Clare Grieveson said reconciliation is an opportunity to listen, learn and work alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to shape care that removes barriers, respects culture and reflects community needs.
“Our consumers are at the centre of everything we do, and as a provider operating in regional areas, we recognise that our care and services should be informed by the communities we serve,” she said.
“We have much to learn from older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and I am proud to announce our commitment to helping reconcile Australia through our Reconciliation Action Plan.
“SCCWA is committed to being a culturally responsive and respectful workplace.”
Reconciliation Australia Chief Executive Officer Karen Mundine said SCCWA’s Reflect RAP is an important first step that will set the tone for the organisation’s future reconciliation work.
“Getting these first steps right will ensure the sustainability of future RAPs and reconciliation initiatives and provide meaningful impact toward Australia’s reconciliation journey,” she said.
“Congratulations SCCWA, welcome to the RAP program, and I look forward to following your reconciliation journey in the years to come.”
