Get in touch

In recognition of the deep history and culture of this Island Lutrawita, Richmond Futures would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to all Tasmanian Aboriginal people and acknowledge our respect for their culture and identity which has been bound up with the Land, Waterways and Sky for generations. We would also like to pay our respects to Elders, past and present for they hold the memories, knowledge, culture and hopes of Aboriginal Tasmania.

Richmond Futures is committed to continuously building an inclusive and safe organisational culture, where people can bring their whole (authentic and true) self. Diverse experiences, ways of knowing, thinking and working styles are valued, encouraged and respected because we recognise that expertise and knowledge comes in various forms. We work in solidarity with one another to create a workplace where everybody can belong, connect and succeed in their role. We do this by courageously sharing our different perspectives, radically listening, being open to reflection and change, and learning from each other.

Last week we had the pleasure of catching up with The Honourable Bridget Archer, Minister for Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing. We took the opportunity to share our soon to be operating transition housing units for people who are in recovery from their mental health condition and are seeking arm’s length support as they transition into fully independent living. 

A number of people who use our services took the opportunity for some 1:1 time with the Minister, sharing their journey and experience of mental health and the service system as a whole. We are proud to be part of people’s recovery journey and to support them to advocate for themselves and others for a more joined up system that respects and values the voice of people with lived experience.
