Our Commitment to Treaty in Victoria
Drummond Street Services, together with all of our services and programs, stands in support of Treaty in Victoria.
We believe Treaty is an essential step toward justice, healing and a better future for all. Treaty is about recognising the sovereignty of First Peoples and ensuring that decisions about Aboriginal communities, cultures and lands are made by Aboriginal people.
For generations, First Peoples have called for Treaty. We have seen the strength and success of Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and know that self-determination leads to stronger families and healthier communities. Treaty will build on this by creating the structures that allow Aboriginal voices and knowledge to lead the way in areas such as health, education, housing and family support.
As an organisation committed to social justice and equity, we are proud to walk alongside First Peoples on this journey. We acknowledge the courage and leadership of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria and commit to listening, learning and acting in solidarity as the Treaty process continues.
