Our organisational approach is guided by these key initiatives







We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people. They have never ceded sovereignty, and remain strong in their enduring connection to land, water and culture.

We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Mallee Family Care is a Child Safe Organisation.
