Reform advisory committee says changes will undermine scheme’s original intentions and give unprecedented power to the health minister

As National Reconciliation Week comes to a close, we reflect on what it truly means to go “All In”.

For us, it means continuing to listen, learn and take action. It means strengthening relationships, improving access, advocating for equity, and ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices remain central in the work we do.

Reconciliation is not confined to a single week on the calendar. It is an ongoing commitment that requires honesty, courage, accountability and action.

We are grateful to the individuals, families and communities who continue to share knowledge, culture and guidance with us.

There is always more to learn, and we remain committed to walking forward together.

Going “All In” means creating spaces where people feel culturally safe, welcomed and respected.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, we recognise the importance of reflecting on our own practices, environments and communication to ensure people feel seen, heard and valued.

Cultural safety is not a one-time achievement. It requires ongoing reflection, accountability and willingness to grow.

We remain committed to continuing this work through learning, advocacy, respectful practice and meaningful action not only during Reconciliation Week, but every day.

Because reconciliation belongs to all of us.

Going “All In” means turning reflection into action.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, we recognise that reconciliation is not only about awareness, it is about responsibility. It requires us to look at how we work, what we prioritise, and how our services can better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, adults and families.

We are committed to continuing to improve our practice through cultural learning, respectful partnerships, and ongoing reflection on how we can reduce barriers and strengthen access to care.

Real change does not come from a single week. It comes from consistent, everyday action.

We will keep doing the work.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, going “All In” means building genuine partnerships.

We know meaningful outcomes happen when families, communities, educators, health professionals and support networks work together with shared respect and understanding.

Partnership is not about speaking for communities; it is about working alongside them. It is about recognising strengths, valuing lived experience, and creating services that are responsive, respectful and person-centred.

We are thankful for the relationships we continue to build across the communities we work with and for the opportunity to keep learning through those connections.

Reconciliation grows through relationships, and relationships grow through trust.

Going “All In” means recognising and celebrating strength.

Every day, we see the resilience, knowledge, connection and leadership within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities. We recognise the importance of culture, identity, kinship and community in supporting wellbeing and positive outcomes across the lifespan.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, we strive to provide supports that are respectful, collaborative and grounded in the understanding that people are the experts in their own lives, families and communities.

This Reconciliation Week, we acknowledge the ongoing contributions of First Nations peoples and their importance, with respect and purpose.

For us, going “All In” means working to improve access.

Children, young people and adults living in rural and remote communities deserve equitable access to quality allied health supports close to home and connected to culture and community.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, we actively contribute to reducing barriers to assessment, therapy and support services across regional and remote areas by travelling to Ceduna every fortnight during term time to provide speech pathology services where they are needed. We know early support and accessible care can have lifelong impacts.

We are proud to work alongside families, schools, services and communities to help build pathways that are more inclusive, responsive and sustainable.

There is still more work to do and we remain committed to being part of that work.

27/05/2026

Going “All In” starts with listening.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, we know we don't have all the answers. Meaningful support begins by listening to the voices, experiences, strengths and priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.

We are committed to ongoing learning, not just during Reconciliation Week, but throughout the year. Cultural responsiveness is not a checklist; it is an ongoing responsibility that we take seriously.

We are grateful for the knowledge shared with us by First Nations families, community members, educators, health professionals and leaders who continue to guide better ways of working.

Real reconciliation requires humility, reflection and action.

National Reconciliation Week 2026 is here, and this year’s theme, “All In” asks all Australians to consider how we contribute to reconciliation in meaningful, everyday ways.

At Solid Foundations Allied Health, going “All In” means more than words. It means listening. Learning. Building trust. Respecting culture. Creating safe spaces. Advocating for equity. It means continuing to reflect on how we can do better for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people, adults, families and communities.

We recognise that reconciliation is ongoing work. It happens in conversations, partnerships, service delivery, education, and in the choices organisations make every day.

This week, we’ll be sharing what “All In” means to us and the commitments that guide our work across regional and remote communities.
