We acknowledge that we work and connect on the traditional and unceded lands of Aboriginal peoples and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We are committed to the reconciliation journey through our actions and openness to learn.

Meli is committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe and that they belong. We welcome people of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, religions, abilities, and nationalities and value diversity of experience as a vital part of supporting people and strengthening communities. We will listen, learn and evolve as an accessible, inclusive, and safe organisation for all, including First Nations peoples, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disability and those with culturally diverse backgrounds.

Meli respects and values the diverse knowledge, experiences and perspectives of people who access our services. We commit to actively supporting lived experience inclusion and leadership. We strive to ensure that decision-making at all levels of our organisation is shaped by the rich and specialist expertise of lived experience.

Meli is a Child Safe organisation and is committed in everyday practice to the safety and wellbeing of children and young people.
