Our Vision: Generations of vibrant, healthy and strong Aboriginal communities
Our values
Mallee District Aboriginal Services embraces four values. These values drive our culture, are central to how we make decisions and ensure services are delivered in a socially-responsible way.
Optimism
We will demonstrate optimism for the future of people requesting our services and will help people to achieve positive lifestyle outcomes by empowering people to take control over their lives.
Community
We will always make sure the community is central to everything we do. We are committed to the ongoing involvement and engagement of the community in the design and development of all our programs and services. The community’s needs are pivotal and will always drive our service.
Respect for Culture
We will take action to provide services that are inclusive of Aboriginal people and support their strong cultural connections. We will give recognition, protection and provide continued advancement of the inherent rights, cultures and traditions of Aboriginal people.
Compassion
We respect all people as individuals and we will be empathetic in understanding people’s pasts and the issues and challenges they face. We will show no judgement in the choices people have made and will actively work with people to assist in their healing process.
