3 LIFELINE AUSTRALIA 'REFLECT' RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN (RAP) OUR VISION AND BUSINESS The Lifeline Australia Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a commitment to turn good intentions into real actions and rise to the challenge of reconciling Australia. The Lifeline Australia RAP will outline a business plan that uses a holistic approach to create meaningful relationships, enhanced respect and promote sustainable opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Lifeline Australia has developed a Reflect RAP; this is our commitment to completing the actions outlined in this document over the next 12 months to ensure we are well positioned to implement effective and mutually beneficial initiatives as part of future Reconciliation Action Plans. Future RAPs will identify relationships, respect and opportunities actions specific to Lifeline Australia s business and sphere of influence. This Reflect RAP will allow Lifeline Australia to focus on building relationships both internally and externally, and raise awareness with our stakeholders to ensure there is shared understanding and ownership of our RAP within our organisation. Development of future RAPs will involve consultation with staff across our organisation including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, staff and/or stakeholders to achieve our vision for reconciliation. We understand the importance of the development of a RAP. We believe that relationships are at the heart of reconciliation respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians with Lifeline Australia and peoples communities. To ensure that this RAP is meaningful and effective we have developed a working group consisting of Lifeline Australia staff with relevant expertise; in addition to being chosen for their passion and enthusiasm about the development of the RAP and their commitment to promoting and ensuring its effectiveness within the organisation. The RAP Working Group comprises of: Kylie Wilson - Project Hannah Dawes - Centre Operations Angela Mason - Sustainability and Public Relations Alison McGrath - Human Resources Alan Woodward Lifeline Research Foundation Gia Chu - Community Development Tracey Whetnall Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples Representative OUR VISION OF RECONCILIATION Our vision for reconciliation is meaningful acknowledgement of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples history and contemporary culture, relationships based on respect for different ways of being, and commitment to collectively address the unacceptable gaps in health and wellbeing, especially the high suicide rate experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The Board, Lifeline Australia 'Reflect" Reconciliation Action Plan 3
4 management, staff & volunteers of Lifeline Australia are committed to the ongoing process of reconciliation by continuing to be accountable to the actions within our RAP. OUR BUSINESS Since its establishment in 1963, Lifeline has served Australians experiencing crisis through access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. Lifeline is also a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and delivers a number of educational programs. Somewhere in Australia there is a new call to Lifeline every 36 seconds. People call Lifeline s 24 hour crisis line about: Suicidal thoughts or attempts Personal crisis Anxiety Depression Loneliness Abuse and trauma Stresses from work, family or society Self-help information for friends and family Recent figures show that Lifeline has contact with over 1 million people per annum, with over 760,000 supported through core national services and local community services, they are as follows: National Services 24 Hour Telephone Crisis Line Lifeline Online Crisis Support Chat Lifeline Suicide Hot Spot Telephone Crisis Line Lifeline.org.au Get Help self-help resources Service Finder - free directory of local health and community services DV-alert - Domestic Violence Response Training readthesigns National Cannabis Information and Helpline Local Community Services Suicide prevention and bereavement services Face-to-face counselling Financial counselling Gambling counselling Youth services Disability services Welfare programs Rural outreach Migrant support services Family and mediation services Counselling services for children School based education programs Information education and support groups Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples support services This work is made possible by around 11,000 volunteers, 3,500 of which are working on our telephone crisis support line, local staff who are dedicated and passionate about what they do and national office staff that support the work done at the local level. Crisis support volunteers are trained to listen and provide support for people in crisis and to check for suicide safety. Lifeline Australia 'Reflect" Reconciliation Action Plan 4
5 Lifeline employs approximately 45 staff in the national office (Lifeline Australia). There are currently no staff at Lifeline Australia who have identified themselves as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples. The importance of appropriate cultural knowledge in the development of our services is critical to Lifeline Australia, we therefore engage stakeholders and content experts in ensuring we are equipped to meet the needs of our community. Lifeline is a national orgainsation with a presence in every state and territory, across metropolitan, regional and rural Australia. There are currently has 35 Centres with 42 sites. Lifeline Australia operates under the Lifeline Strategic Framework, with the vision of an Australia free of suicide. This is done by supporting all Australians in times of crisis and equipping individuals and communities to be resilient and suicide-safe (see Framework below). Lifeline s performance and reputation depends upon all of the decisions we each make and the actions we take every day. Our guiding principles underpin our decisions and actions and how we behave. Our guiding principles are; We are guided by how we can best support and serve the community in delivering Lifeline s Purpose We consistently demonstrate care and respect for other people through how we deal with colleagues, clients and the community. We demonstrate integrity, honesty, openness, personal excellence and constructive self-criticism, innovation in service provision, mutual respect and commitment in all of our behaviours and decisions. We will reinforce Lifeline s reputation as an organisation of integrity, honesty, respect, care and trustworthiness. We listen to others without judgement. We believe suicide is mostly preventable OUR PARTNERSHIPS AND CURRENT ACTIVITIES Lifeline delivers a series of Domestic Violence Response Training (DV-alert) to health, allied health and community frontline workers to enable them to confidently recognise, respond and refer situations of Lifeline Australia 'Reflect" Reconciliation Action Plan 5
6 domestic and family violence. Domestic and family violence is one of the most pervasive forms of violence in Australia and health, allied health and community frontline workers have been identified through research as the ones most likely to identify and support people who are at risk of or experiencing domestic and family violence. DV-alert is a nationally-run accredited training program available at no cost and is delivered in three streams. One of these streams, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples DV-alert stream, is specifically provided to health, allied health and community frontline workers supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The training takes into account the impact of domestic and family violence occurring in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities given their specific and unique community contexts. Since its inception, the Indigenous DV-alert program has taken a unique approach in delivering DV-alert workshops in remote and rural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander locations across Australia. Lifeline observes individual community protocols by ensuring that cultural considerations are factored into preworkshop activities. A month before a proposed training schedule, Lifeline staff and trainers visit the community where the training will be held and engage with community Elders and Traditional Owners, local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander councils and community service providers to consult about community issues related to domestic and family violence and seek endorsement for the workshop to be held within their community. The DV-alert Indigenous Reference Group was established in 2012 to inform the direction of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples DV-alert Program in relation to training delivery and community engagement. It consists of seven Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples panel members whose range of expertise includes areas such as: research, domestic and family violence, gender and development, vocational training and education, governance, community development, health, housing and cross-cultural education. To date, Lifeline has delivered 31 workshops in various remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and reached close to 350 community frontline workers working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Lifeline will deliver another 36 Indigenous workshops in the next two years through Lifeline Broken Hill and capitalise on the Centre s existing expertise and engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities which is well recognised and respected in the sector and by the government. Lifeline is also in the process of developing Aboriginal Men s Program which aims to raise the awareness of Aboriginal men on the impact of domestic and family violence and to motivate them to help prevent the problem within their own communities. Lifeline Broken Hill intends to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples trainers from across the country to deliver the 36 Indigenous DV Alert workshops over the next two years. Below is a list of communities that Lifeline has previously engaged with through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples DV-alert program: Kempsey, NSW Mount Isa, QLD Doomadgee, QLD Broome, WA Bourke, NSW Smithton, TAS Ceduna, SA Tennant Creek, NT Taree, NSW Darwin, NT Broken Hill, NSW Cherbourg, QLD Napranum, QLD Walgett, NSW Moree, NSW Katherine, NT Thursday Island, QLD Kyogle, NSW Robinvale, VIC Tiwi Island, NT Fitzroy Crossing, WA Darwin, NT Lismore, NSW Palm Island, QLD Kalgoorlie, WA Halls Creek, WA Queanbeyan, NSW Yalata, SA Perth, WA Wilcannia, NSW Lifeline Australia 'Reflect" Reconciliation Action Plan 6
7 LIFELINE AUSTRALIA S COMMITMENT TO A REFLECT RAP Relationships Supporting relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians are vital to the development of the shared understanding of the diversity of our community s culture and heritage. Lifeline Australia is committed to contributing to the healing, well-being and building of trust within our community through the relationships we support and aim to develop. Developing these relationships will enhance and inform Lifeline Australia s vision of an Australia free of suicide; they will also inform Lifeline as an organisation, Lifeline staff and individuals RAP goals. Lifeline respects and understands the importance of cultural identity and cultural development for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This importance was stressed and summed up in the comments by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in the Elders Report on Preventing Self harm and Suicide released early 2014: Not supporting homelands, not supporting cultural education, and not supporting cultural activities is actually a matter of life and death for us. Action Responsibility Timeline Deliverables Establish and maintain a RAP Working Group June 2014 A RAP Working Group is formed and operational to support the development of our RAP, comprising of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians.
