The Foundation supports the extra costs associated with schooling for Aboriginal students around Victoria. These costs not otherwise funded from government or other educational funding sources, such as school uniforms, books, school camps and other school associated costs.
The Foundation is Aboriginal led and listens to the diverse needs of Victorian Aboriginal families. We know that families know the educational needs of their children and private a safe support system to establish self determination

WE ACKNOWLEDGE
Our Ancestors, Elders, communities and families have educated our children since the beginning of time, about the depth, beauty and strength of our culture, and continue to pass on their knowledge to each generation, carrying forward one of the oldest living cultures on earth.
That Opening the Doors Foundation makes a small but impactful contribution to the lives of the children we support, alongside the Elders, families, communities, organisations and teachers who shape their lives.
We pay tribute to the educators, schools and organisations working to create culturally safe and supportive learning environments that ensure every Aboriginal child reaches his or her academic potential.
