We’re pioneering. We’re not afraid to try something new. We experiment, embrace complex problems and use good judgment and evidence to innovate and take risks. Always adaptable, we’re ready to change our approach.
We don’t dwell on setbacks or get preoccupied with problems – we find solutions.

We team up. We respect the expertise of others and recognise that we produce the strongest outcomes when we put the best ideas together. We trust each other, keep things simple and make it easy for others to do the right thing. We empower and support each other, sharing information, skills and experience so that all of us are equipped to succeed. We never let difficult moments develop into bad working relationships.

We act with pace. We prioritise action, are efficient and always focus our efforts where we know we can make the biggest impact. We don’t wait to be told what to do - we take the initiative and deliver on our responsibilities with momentum. We’re decisive and once a plan is set, we all get behind it to make it a success.
