Reconciliation
Acknowledgement of country
Anglicare acknowledges the first and traditional custodians of the land and waters throughout Australia. We pay respect to the elders both past and present, and express our gratitude that we share this land today, our sorrow for the cost of that sharing, and our hope that we can move towards a place of justice and partnership together.

Based on Anglicare’s visual identity, this artwork represents the programs and services of our organisation engaging with Aboriginal communities across the Diocese. It expresses our commitment to Reconciliation – branching out to the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, building positive relationships and partnerships and respecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s culture and land.
Moving toward Reconciliation
Inspired by the gospel of reconciliation in Jesus Christ, Anglicare’s vision for reconciliation is a nation in which Australia’s First Peoples are restored in dignity, respect, empowerment and opportunity; where due honour and recognition is given to Australia’s First Peoples and where our organisation plays an ongoing role in healing and building positive relationships for all.
In consultation with Aboriginal staff, Anglicare continues to seek the very best ways to ensure a respectful and sustainable working relationship with Australia’s First Nations people and communities with which we partner and seek to serve.
Generously consider the case to vote Yes
Yes. Anglicare encourages all Australians to give generous consideration to the case to vote Yes in the 2023 referendum to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
