Connection to Country Action Plan

By increasing awareness of First Nations Peoples and cultures, we will unearth an environment in which we can have two-way knowledge sharing built on mutual respect and understanding. This creates an important vehicle for building community identity and social cohesion. 

Our aim is to develop a Play Well Connection to Country Action Plan that promotes and upholds our commitment to reconciliation and the principle of self-determination. In doing so, this will help create culturally safe environments that support First Nations Peoples to participate in, and enjoy, all roles in sport.
