Home Care Experts is committed to genuine partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We acknowledge the sovereignty of First Nations peoples, their rights to self-determination, and their continued connection to Country. Reconciliation requires concrete action, not just words.

We recognise the injustices of colonisation and commit to genuine reconciliation that respects First Nations rights, culture, and self-determination.
