Our vision is to enable thriving places and connected communities. As the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP), we all own this vision and its outcomes.
To increase First Peoples cultural safety, we’ve made commitments in the Department of Transport and Planning Cultural Safety Framework. This Cultural Safety Action Plan 2024-2028, outlines the Department’s commitment to our first phase of actions.
This Action Plan applies to everyone in the Department. We all have a commitment to support the development of cultural safety. The purpose of our First Peoples Cultural Safety Framework and Action Plan is to increase safety for First Peoples who:
- Use the Transport and Planning system.
- Work within the Department.
- Traditional Owners and First Peoples community who engage with the Department.
Language Statement
- Language is important and can change over time, and words can have different meanings for different people.
- We recognise the diversity of First Peoples living throughout Victoria.
- The terms ‘Koorie’ or ‘Koori’ are often used by Aboriginal people of southeast Australia. In this plan we have respectfully used the term First Peoples.
- This term refers to all people of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent, living or visiting Victoria.
