Our values

APS values - website tile

APS values are central to the success of DHA - they build a picture of who we are and how we want to be. They shape and define the culture we want at DHA, and they guide us to be the best we can be - individually and as an organisation. It is everyone's responsibility to express, celebrate and defend our values.
