Reframing the relationship plan 2025–2028: learning, creating and working together
The
reframing the relationship plan 2025–2028: learning, creating and working together seeks to build our cultural capability at the system level when we deliver services to the community and provide advice to the Queensland Government. Through our plan, we will implement actions to strengthen our organisational culture, structures, polices and everyday practices.
It supports the Queensland Government's vision of creating Queensland's future through early childhood education, schooling and the arts and directs all that we do—in every childhood setting, every classroom and through every arts and culture initiative. We recognise that we can only create Queensland's future with and alongside, Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We developed the reframing the relationship plan 2025–2028: learning, creating and working together by considering the progress we have made since our implementation of the 2024 reframing the relationship plan and our future strategic direction.
We listened to, and were informed by, the experiences and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, their families and communities, staff, service providers and the former Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education and Training Advisory Committee (QATSIETAC).
A
summarised version has been developed for our schools, families and the broader community.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander shared decision-making framework
The
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander shared decision-making framework aims to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and Queensland state schools to implement shared decision-making to improve educational outcomes for Aboriginal students and Torres Strait Islander students. Shared decision-making involves all parties working together as equals, reaching agreement and sharing responsibility to implement the shared decision-making framework in their school.
Community engagement is the essential first step and occurs continuously throughout the process of shared decision-making and is based on 'Listening, Learning, Trusted Relationships'.
The
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander shared decision-making framework fact sheet provides more information on the processes required for successful outcomes in shared decision-making.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander procurement action plan 2024–25
The
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander procurement action plan 2024–25 has been developed to guide schools and corporate and regional staff to increase procurement from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-owned businesses.
By engaging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses, we can help to create employment, build sector capability, and increase the economic participation and employment of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Engaging with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses will improve student outcomes by strengthening pathways from school to work, create jobs and employment opportunities for local communities along with enhancing social inclusion to vulnerable groups through participation in employment, engagement and contribution to the local economy.
