Our Values

KARI has developed a unique service approach which is professional, accountable and culturally responsive.

The organisation is shaped by 7 values:

  1. Innovation

    Always review what you do and seek ways to improve process and outcome. There is often a better way.

  2. Access

    All Aboriginal people in a community will have access to KARI services where possible.

  3. Professionalism

    Always achieve the highest possible service standard on time, as promised. We are accountable for delivering what we promise.

  4. Strength through Culture

    Aboriginal people should experience culture as a living reality which gives each person identity and confidence.

  5. Respect

    All people deserve respect and will be respected by KARI. We will always speak clearly and openly but we will also be respectful.

  6. Unity of Purpose

    We work together and speak with one voice on professional issues. KARI will partner with communities to achieve Aboriginal goals.

  7. Excellence

    We provide the best possible standards of service. We want to be the benchmark provider of quality services to Aboriginal people.

These values are expressed in KARI's practical service standards which are consistently benchmarked and measured.
