Reconciliation

At Juniper, we recognise the importance of acknowledging and addressing the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and we are dedicated to playing an active role in the reconciliation process. Our commitment to reconciliation and cultural safety is deeply rooted in our values of respect, compassion and courage. We understand that cultural safety is crucial in providing quality care and services. It requires us to understand and respect the cultural beliefs, practices, and needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

By prioritising cultural safety, we can ensure that our services are responsive, inclusive, and respectful of the diverse cultural backgrounds of our employees and the older people we support. Juniper is proud to feature the artwork of Ena Graham, a proud young Gooniyandi and Wongi woman on our Reconciliation Action Plan. Titled “Coming Together,” this painting symbolises the unity of all people from different language groups, embarking on the journey of life.

Drawing inspiration from her culture and upbringing in Moongardie Community, Ena expresses her stories through painting on local boab nuts and canvas. Ena comes from a family of artists, with her Great Grandmother Dora Cox and Grandmother Elizabeth Gilligan, both Gooniyandi women from Moongardie, and her Grandfather Dwayne Graham Senior, a Wongi man, all possessing incredible artistic talents.
