Our values

Aussie of the Month encourages and recognises the Australian values of fair go, mateship, respect and inclusion.

Many schools have successfully integrated Aussie of the Month into their delivery of the civics and citizenship curriculum by using the program to generate discussion about Australian Values, civic participation, role models and leadership, diversity and inclusion, and many other citizenship subject areas.

Key Values

Fair go

Same opportunity for all people and having a go

Mateship

Generosity of spirit and compassion for those in need.

Respect

For self, for others, our way of life and the environment.

Inclusion

Acceptance of difference, feeling of belonging.

When demonstrated, these values help to create a sense of belonging for all.
