Creating One Araluen together

Learn all about what we will do and how we will build a great Culture based on shared Values

Over June and July we have been gathering input from our staff, our participants and from our family and carers network to understand the values and behaviours that are most important to our Araluen community.

We had the greatest staff involvement in having a say in our history, through the 10 Staff Focus Groups and through the Define Survey.

We also had the greatest Participant and Family and Carers involvement in having a say through the 9 Participant Focus Groups  and through the Family and Carers Define Survey.

We are now working through Refining everyone’s input into the Values and Behaviours Framework that will become the cornerstone of our culture in a workshop with the Values and Behaviours Champions on August the 31st.

Our progress

Our Values and Behaviours Champion Network

The Values and Behaviours Champions will play a critical role in finalising our Values and Behaviours Framework and in helping to embed and role model the values and behaviours across our Araluen community.
