Philosophy

ANKORS' programs are guided by the belief in Holistic care, the right to dignity, respect, personal and community empowerment.
ANKORS' programs are based on the belief that services are provided in a non-judgmental manner without prejudice that ensures individuals right to anonymity and confidential service.
ANKORS will actively address the social determinants of health and risk factors that contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS, HCV and other blood borne pathogens.

Values Statement

ANKORS values:
Respect for all and the provision of barrier free service.
The physical and mental health of our clients, staff and volunteers.
The primary, secondary and tertiary care of those most at risk for HIV/AIDS, HCV and other blood borne pathogens.
Consumer engagement and involvement in decision-making, program development and service delivery.
Professionalism; best practice; cross- sector partnerships and community networking and development.
Harm reduction as a tool to reduce the harmful effects of a behaviour that places an individual at risk.
Harm Reduction means taking action to reduce the harmful effects of a behaviour, without requiring people to abstain from (stop doing) the behaviour.
Diversity, compassion, inclusion.
