The Aboriginal community helped shape the story of our service + the imagery we use. As much as possible, elements have been designed to represent all Aboriginal people nationally + their communities.
Shield of Hope
The shield symbolises individuality and inner strength. It represents the barrier that people must cross to gain strength and support. It also symbolises protection in harmony and the hope needed to achieve aims and goals.
The lines surrounding the shield represent the roads and many pathways that one has to travel. It symbolises the connections between the client, their life journey and the service.
The glow surrounding the shield represents the will and power someone gains as they work towards sobriety. It symbolises the sun as a life-giving source.
Kangaroo Life Journey Towards Connection
The kangaroo’s movement represents a person’s life journey. It shows the strength that they must gain to achieve their aims and goals.
The kangaroo heading towards the sun (life’s giving source) represents the healing and power a person gains as they travel within the service.
The kangaroo, sun and earth together represent the harmony, satisfaction and healing that the person will gain throughout their journey of recovery.
The kangaroo and its surroundings represent the individual’s strength in reaching their own destinations and arriving well.
