Reconciliation Statement

The Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of the nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

The Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation Board:

All Australians understand and accept the wrongs of the past and the impact of these wrongs. Australia makes amends for the wrongs of the past and ensures these wrongs are never repeated.

The Ian & Shirley Norman Foundation is committed to advancing the five dimensions of reconciliation promoted by Reconciliation Australia

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples participate equally in a range of life opportunities and the unique rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are recognised and upheld.

Unity

An Australian society that values and recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritage as a proud part of a shared identity.
