Girringun Vision Statement
To provide leadership, direction and assistance in the provision of sustainable outcomes for the improvement and positive development of the social, cultural, spiritual, environmental and economic well-being of Aboriginal traditional owners and community members of Girringun for the benefit of the region.
We seek to achieve our vision by:
- Continuing to provide a financially and internally stable and viable representative non-for-profit grass-roots organization.
- Building healthy, strong, culturally and socially rejuvenated families and individuals who are educated, skilled and empowered to take control of their lives and destinies and function well within the community.
- Strengthening ownership, presence, and extending our people’s roles and responsibilities in the management, use and caring of our traditional land and sea country.
- Developing sustainable and realistic economic opportunities through traditional owners’ engagement and participation in the regional and local economies and their development of economic activities on country.
- Building confident, high-esteemed and inspired youth participating in the broader society and fulfilling their responsibilities and aspirations.
- Assisting traditional owners to develop individual and community capacity skills, and facilitate and encourage them to take their place in the various local and regional planning, and on the ground activities within the region.
Looking after our people, caring for our traditional country, building and sustaining our people’s cultural, social and spiritual well-being, and keeping our culture alive, are the cornerstones of Girringun’s vision, operations and future directions.
Traditional country, our people and our culture are inextricably linked in all of Girringun’s efforts to enhance, extend and sustain the general well-being of our traditional owners. The well-being of our people has a spiritual, social, physical and economic dimension, all of which require fulfilment for well-being to be achieved. While all of our activities are in one way or another aimed at building our people’s health and well-being, that goal is achieved by supporting our families, our young and old people to connect with country. Caring for country, access to, and presence on country is a key factor in the continuation of our culture.
Girringun’s current approach toward identifying additional strategic service delivery opportunities is reflected in Girringun’s commitment as outlined in:
Girringun Aboriginal Corporation Plan 2005-8.
