Our commitment to reconciliation

We wish to advise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that the following content may contain audio and images of deceased persons. 

Our vision is to be a faith movement committed to social justice, equity and freedom.

We acknowledge that parts of our history have contributed to the profound grief and loss experienced by First Nations peoples.

We are committed to working alongside First Nations peoples  to pursue justice, reconciliation and mutual flourishing. We commit ourselves in prayer and practice to the lands of Australia  and its peoples, seeking reconciliation, unity and equity.

We envision a future where reconciliation is deeply rooted in social justice, cultural safety and truth-telling.

In this future, the voices, histories and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are respected, upheld and championed.

Guided by our core values, we act with unwavering integrity, ensuring honesty and accountability in all our endeavours. With compassion and respect, we listen attentively, acknowledge past and present injustices, and affirm the dignity and self-determination of First Nations peoples. We celebrate diversity as a strength and foster collaboration, standing in solidarity with communities to advocate justice, cultural safety, and truth-telling.

Reconciliation is not merely a commitment — it is a profound responsibility, a continuous journey, and a shared vision for a just and inclusive future.

The development and implementation of our national Salvation Army Reconciliation Action Plan is key to driving reconciliation practices.
