The Meridian

We acknowledge and value the knowledge and expertise that comes from lived experience, employing peer-based approaches to share this expertise. In using these approaches, we commit to nurturing and supporting individuals and communities to reach their potential. We complement our peer-based approach with an evidence-based approach to ensure our pro... grams and services are founded on the latest research and respond to the emerging needs of the communities we work with. We contribute to policy development processes and undertake advocacy to ensure the issues affecting the communities we work with are a priority for the community, the ACT and the country. We value the legacy and the history of Meridian as an organisation established and led by volunteers and commit to ensuring volunteers, members and allies continue to be central to the work of Meridian now and into the future. We value the work of other partners working on the issues we care about. We enter partnership arrangements with a commitment to collaborate, recognise expertise, build capacity and nurture professional and supportive relationships. We recognise the importance of sustainability, including ensuring Meridian runs professionally and sustainably, and we build capacity in the organisation and the communities we work with.
