AWCH acknowledges the Wallumedegal people of the Darug Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work. We honour  and value their enduring care for Country and pay respect to Elders past and present.
 
We recognise the strength and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people and commit to working alongside First Nations communities in the pursuit of equitable and accessible healthcare for all.

AWCH is committed to celebrating, valuing, and affirming people of all backgrounds, genders, sexualities, cultures, bodies, neurotypes, and abilities.

We value the willingness and openness of people sharing lived experience perspectives and acknowledge that this is integral to our work, and to effective change.
