The Principles of CQID as an organisation underpin the decisions we make, the strategies we devise and the directions we choose. CQID is a unique organisation in Central Queensland and perhaps in Australia, and is accordingly responsible for demonstrating a commitment to contemporary, best practice business standards, with immediate relevance to the Indigenous and other communities which it serves.
CQID staff, directors and associates will, accordingly, adhere to the following principles:
- Always be an organisation of which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people can be proud
- Teamwork and collaboration is what we do best and it enables us to succeed
- Strive to make a positive impact on the lives of Indigenous people
- Be accountable for its actions and will endeavour to learn from its mistakes
- Value members and employees as the organisation‘s greatest asset
- Maintain safety, security, and control at its locations
- Maintain a culture of communication and cooperation
- Promote best practice, engage in research and be informed by methodologies that directly involve and benefit Indigenous Australians
- At all times uphold the fundamental rights of Indigenous Australians.
Observation and practice of the Organisation Principles enables the delivery of efficient and relevant services to the community through development of:
- Standards of service delivery and professionalism which are continually revised and enhanced.
- An intelligent, solutions-oriented approach to problem solving.
- Cooperation with agencies and clients (through the development of new and maintenance of existing local partnerships, alliances and coalitions)
- A culture which promotes access and equity; and
- An organisation which commits to appropriate and efficient resource use.
