Mission Australia’s people are our greatest resource, so we’re always happy to share good news about them.

This week we’re congratulating Shane Sturgiss, our Service Manager, Coastal Sydney Aboriginal Tenancy Support Service, on being offered an Advanced Diploma in Indigenous Leadership scholarship from the Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre scholarship.

Shane is one of 16 Aboriginal Australians to be offered the scholarship, and will begin a Certificate IV in Indigenous Leadership
in March.

Pathways to sustainable employment

Working together we strengthen families, empower youth, strive to solve homelessness and provide employment solutions. By learning from others and sharing what works well for us, we are able to deliver positive outcomes for individuals, families and communities.

We aim to stop problems before they start, provide support to prevent situations from getting worse and form partnerships to find long-term solutions to community issues.

Mission Australia’s RAP has emerged after a lengthy process of consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, our own staff, other stakeholders and with enormous encouragement from Reconciliation Australia. Our RAP has been developed under the auspices of Reconciliation Australia’s RAP program and follows the recognised guidelines under which commitments to action follow the well established themes of relationships, respect and opportunities. These themes align well with our own organisational values of respect, compassion, integrity, perseverance and celebration.
