The Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Elders and Leaders Reconciliation Network exist to create a space that is culturally safe, deeply respectful, and grounded in relationship. It is a space for mentorship, cultural guidance, and genuine collaboration where knowledge is shared with care and received with humility.
The Network supports the Canteen YARN Group and guides staff of all backgrounds in engaging meaningfully and respectfully with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being, and doing.
