DE Policy: Supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Clients

Disability Enterprises acknowledges that Indigenous peoples throughout Australia and the Pacific are reaffirming their indigenous identitiy and are, in turn, nurturing this pride in their children

We further acknowledge ... "That families, elders and community leaders have an important role to play in helping indigenous children to understand that they have special resources upon which to draw - spritiuality, cultural identity and values: a strong bond with the land; a collective memory; kinship and community. Indigenous children (young people and adults) carry a special inheritance, and from which we can all learn".
UNICEF Marta Pais Santos Innocenti Research Centre 2004

DE supports and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and will work with the local communities of Darug and Gundungurra peoples to provide culturally appropriate and non-discriminatory services.
