At its heart, the National Compact is not just about organisations and governments, but communities and the way we relate to each other. The Compact seeks to strengthen the role of both individuals and organisations in our community that support our connectedness and our inter-dependence.
Unfortunately, Australia is a place of increasing isolation, yet our health and wellbeing is grounded in the way we connect with others, the value and meaning in our lives. There is much work to do.
It is therefore a great honour to be part of the movement to implement the Compact across Australia. I look forward to contributing to real change in the way we all value and engage with our communities. Through the Compact I hope we will be able to both acknowledge and build on the wonderful work being done every day in Australia to make us a more resilient and inclusive community.
