‘The Goanna’ 2015

By Jordan Secombe, Wotjobaluk/Jadawadjali

“Skillinvest has respect in recognising equality and diversity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the community as a whole. We will act with integrity and compassion and work collaboratively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples while searching for inclusive ways to achieve equality particularly through education, training and employment opportunities.

We will work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities to provide awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and achievements in all communities in which we work.

Skillinvest will ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people feel embraced by our business and we will measure our success when Skillinvest is recognised as a place where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their heritage, cultures and spirituality are valued, respected and celebrated.”
