Respect is about valuing each other as individuals and recognising the unique perspectives and contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people bring to our community. It means appreciating diversity and understanding that everyone has something valuable to offer. By showing respect in our actions and attitudes, we create an environment where all voices are heard, and everyone feels included.

Respect goes beyond words - it's about actions. This means embedding recognition and appreciation for Aboriginal perspectives in everything we do. It involves listening, learning and celebrating the rich cultural identity of Aboriginal peoples as part of our collective story. When we respect each other, we lay the foundation for trust, understanding and a brighter future for everyone.
