Our Vision

The people of Cape York have the capabilities to choose a life they have reason to value.

A FAMILY-CENTRED APPROACH

Cape York Partnership pursues Indigenous empowerment. The long hand of government intervention in the lives of Indigenous people has too often smothered Indigenous initiative, leadership and responsibility. Cape York Partnership is an Indigenous organisation that has stood up to lead a comprehensive reform agenda to turn this on its head. We want to ensure that Indigenous rights and responsibility exist in proper balance, and Indigenous people are truly enabled to be the masters of their own destinies.

OUR COGS OF CHANGE

Innovative policy, research and on-the-ground reforms are the lifeblood elements of Cape York Partnership. Each policy and operational area of Cape York Partnership is like a cog in an engine—each plays an important role in the functioning of the machine that drives development and, in turn, our reform agenda. Cape York Partnership and its collective of entities aim to get all of the cogs moving.
