An anti-racist organisation

We recognise and value the strength of our Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and multicultural staff, and we acknowledge that racism impacts many of our colleagues.

 DCJ will build an anti-racist organisation by boosting racial literacy and building our capability to prevent and respond to racism in all its forms. This will improve the experiences of our workforce and in turn, improve the experiences of the people, families and communities we serve.

 Everyone at DCJ has the right to be treated with respect and dignity. We will hold ourselves accountable to foster a culture of equity, fairness and respect, examine personal biases, call out racist behaviour, and address systemic racism within the organisation.

We will strengthen the cultural capabilities of our staff, which will have a flow-on effect to the people, families and communities we serve. We will make every effort to encourage, advocate for and create a culturally safe workplace, understanding that some staff may never feel entirely culturally safe given the nature of the work that we do.
