We acknowledge the impact of colonisation to this day and seek ways to rectify past wrongs, including through Truth-Telling and the development of Treaty.
We are deeply committed to Aboriginal self-determination and to supporting Victoria’s Treaty and Truth-Telling processes. We acknowledge that Treaty will have wide-ranging effects on our work with Aboriginal Victorians and we are committed to acting on the findings from the Truth-Telling process through the Victorian autism plan. We seek to create respectful and collaborative partnerships and develop policies and programs that respect Aboriginal self-determination and align with Treaty aspirations.
We acknowledge that Victoria’s Treaty process will provide a framework for the transfer of decision-making power and resources to support self-determining Aboriginal communities to take control of matters that affect their lives. We commit to working proactively to support this work in line with the aspirations of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria.
