Reconciliation

In 2022, the Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle launched its Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan.

The Reflect RAP is the start of our more formal reconciliation journey that recognises the work our staff and agencies are doing as we journey towards reconciliation.

The Reflect plan is centered on pillars of relationships, respect, opportunities and governance. it is endorsed by Reconciliation Australia and follows their framework. Find out more about the Reflect RAP and Reconcilation Australia framework here.

Committing to a Reflect RAP means scoping and developing relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders, deciding on our vision for reconciliation and exploring our sphere of influence.

The Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, sea and water ways on which the Diocese is located – Awabakal, Biripi, Darkinjung, Kamilaroi, Wiradjuri, Worimi, Wonnarua. We commit to the ongoing journey of Reconciliation.

In practice, this means your investment is backed by the assets of the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese. Money invested with the Fund is used to support the charitable works of the Catholic Church. This is achieved by providing a return on your investment that enables us to provide low-cost funding to assist Catholic organisations, including Catholic schools.

  • investments that the Fund offers are not subject to the usual protections for investors under the Corporations Act (Cth) or regulation by ASIC;
  • there is a risk that you may not get any of your money back from us;
  • investments that the Fund offers are intended to attract investors whose main investment objective is to support our charitable work;
