Annual Report Final 2 - Flipbook - Page 11
2023, in many ways, felt like business unusual, with seeds of true change being planted all
around. We cheered with the glitter of World Pride and roared with local pride alongside
our golden-booted Matildas. Coupled with significant moments of personal and collective
reflection, change is certainly in the air. Perhaps not as initially expected, but it’s there.
Our own journey, as an organisation, has us reflecting on new opportunities. Though we’ve
innovated and transformed over the last 55 years, we’re here to pursue fresh possibilities.
Our next chapter is one that ensures we’re not just viable, but game-changers, for another
55 years and beyond.
A new future doesn’t mean we discard our past. We will never walk away from our origins; that
disruptive DNA as pioneers in the human services space. We’ll continue to build programs
where they’re needed, not purely where there’s funding. We’ll truly focus on the person and
their individuality, not the labels and embedded societal expectations.
To get there, we’ll need to think differently. Improving on the way things are today is not
enough - it’ll be a reimagining of our organisation into the future. One where every Australian
- every person - can live a quality life of their choosing.
For this year, and the years to come, thank you for joining us on this ambitious adventure.
