Inclusive: We work with - not for - refugees and people seeking asylum so they have an equal voice, co-producing projects and ensuring their expertise and experiences are at the heart of what we do.
Collaborative: Working with others is a priority in order to have the collective impact that is vital to achieving policy and practice reform.
Courageous: We speak out when we see injustice, cruelty and unfairness. We always stand up for what we believe is the right thing to do to transform the experiences of those seeking protection in our country.
Respectful: We are respectful of all those we interact with. We treat everyone - our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, partners and people we disagree with - with the same respect, professionalism and understanding.
