Our reconciliation journey

We began our reconciliation journey in 2023 with the guidance and support of NJAC, a First Peoples-owned consultancy.

NJAC facilitated two immersive Truth-telling training sessions for our Board and Executive Leadership Team in February and March 2023, since then, this training has since become embedded in the organisation. Everyone that works for the VLSB+C, regardless of their position, engages in the learning and unlearning required to effectively contribute to reconciliation.
