Our vision
VACCHO’s vision is for vibrant, healthy, self-determining Aboriginal communities. On Solid Ground is our five-year strategy focused on strength, sustainability and innovation for generational change.
From 2021-26, we will move towards an outcomes-based approach: sharpening our focus on what matters, measuring what counts, and determining the future with our Members and Community.
The guiding principles on which this strategic plan is based are Culture & Kinship; Our Choice, Our Way; and Knowledge & Innovation. These will steer the organisation as we work towards the three key priorities in On Solid Ground: Our Foundations; Strong Voice; and Health & Healing.
VACCHO’s vision of vibrant, healthy, self-determining Aboriginal communities includes all LGBTQIASB+ community members. We welcome and embrace the diversity of our Rainbow Mob.
