We value diversity and are committed to providing respectful, accessible services to all.

We do this in a way that is non-judgemental, generous and supportive; that embrace diversity; and that values and promotes fairness, justice and the benefits of strong communities. Our service delivery, advocacy and community building activities are central to achieving this.
