Reconciliation commitment

Acknowledgment of Country

We recognise and value the important contributions of First Peoples to our society and economy. In the spirit of reconciliation, we recognise and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout the Commonwealth and their connections to land, sea, sky, and community. We continue to pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. We recognise the importance of building strong, respectful, and mutually beneficial relationships with First Peoples in all communities.

Inclusive Vision

Our vision is to create a workplace that is inclusive, respectful, and supportive of First Peoples. We will strive to:

Create mutual respect, building trust and understanding between our organisation and First Peoples communities.
Increase First Peoples employment, training and career development opportunities.
Procure products and services from First Peoples-owned and operated businesses as a priority.
Recognise and celebrate First Peoples culture, history and achievements through sharing and learning "ngapartji nagpartji"

Monitoring & reporting

We monitor and report on the progress of our RAP through the following measures:

Regular reporting on our First Peoples employment, training and procurement targets and progress.
Annual reviews of our RAP and consultation with First Peoples stakeholders to ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness.
Engagement with external stakeholders, such as Reconciliation Australia, to seek feedback and support.
WGEA government reporting
Collaboration projects through ARIS TCH Foundation & Academy

Reconciliation australia

We believe reconciliation is everyone’s business too. It begins where we live, work, and connect as a community. We proudly stand with Reconciliation Australia in their mission to enable and inspire every Australian to contribute to a more reconciled nation. This belief underpins our decision to formally register our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2023–2026 - RAP Registration ID: 067753

NAIDOC Week 2026

Celebrating 50 Years of Deadly: Honouring the Past, Creating the Future

As we prepare to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2026 (5th to 12th July), our organisation is proud to recognise this year's theme of "50 Years of Deadly" a milestone that honours five decades of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander strength, resilience, culture, leadership and achievement.

NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to celebrate the history, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We look forward to coming together as a team, community and organisation to honour the past, celebrate the present and help create a stronger future built on respect, understanding and opportunity.

Because reconciliation is not just about recognising history, it is about walking together towards a better future.

Smoking Ceremony and Bush Foods Luncheon

To officially commence our NAIDOC Week celebrations, we will host a Smoking Ceremony on Wednesday, 1 July, providing an opportunity for reflection, cultural connection and acknowledgement of Country.

Following the ceremony, our team will gather for a special Bush Foods and Native Teas Luncheon as part of our weekly Belonging Lunch program. The luncheon will showcase traditional flavours and celebrate the rich cultural heritage and knowledge of Australia's First Nations peoples.

These events provide an opportunity for staff, partners and community members to come together, learn and celebrate the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
