Our purpose
Our purpose is simple and clear. We are committed to changing lives and changing communities.
Our guiding principles
Leadership
We strengthen our leadership through advocacy, publishing research and influencing policy.
Innovation
We foster a culture of innovation and find new approaches to address the issue of family violence.
Influence
We work with government and policy makers to shape local and national agendas. We also work with family violence services to improve the way they work with women from refugee and migrant backgrounds.
Impact
We make a long lasting positive impact on the lives of people and the communities we work with.
We acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first inhabitants of this nation and the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging. We express our gratitude for the sharing of this land, our sorrow for the personal, spiritual and cultural costs of that sharing and hope that we may move forward together in harmony and in the spirit of healing.
We also acknowledge the countless women who have experienced family violence, in particular women from migrant and refugee backgrounds. We recognise the courageous path they have travelled to rebuild their lives and honour their stories which continue to inspire and drive our work.
inTouch is an organisation that values and celebrates diversity, and that is respectful of a person’s culture, identity and beliefs.
