Who We Are

to
be
a
leader
in

creative

and

of
all
Western
Australian
communities.
OUR VALUES
These are our principles which guide how we work alongside communities, supporters, creative people and each other.
[01]
Brave
Our creativity has no comfort zone. Creativity drives everything we do; it is the source of our curiosity, our courage, and our hunger for challenge, change, and to face the unknown. We are entrepreneurial, fast-moving, and unafraid to fail, because trying new things is how transformation happens.
[02]
Visionary
Long view. Clear path. Together. We are focused and discerning, always led by our mission. We hold that vision not only for ourselves, but so those we work with can move forward with confidence and clarity. We act with bold intention, knowing that the distance between impossible and real is made up of patience and conviction.
[03]
Collaborative
Unexpected connections. Extraordinary impact. We seek out surprising, unlikely connections – across disciplines, sectors, geographies, communities, and our own team – because creativity and value multiply at those intersections. We are catalysts and bridge-builders who believe that together, we accomplish what none of us can alone.
[04]
Empowering
We listen for the heartbeat of every community.  We listen before we act – present, attentive, and responsive to what is genuinely needed in the diverse communities we work with. We embed self-determination, cultural awareness, and deep respect as the foundation of everything we do, recognising that Aboriginal and Islander peoples are the Custodians of their Country, their culture and their communities. We are here to amplify, not speak for.
