Reconciliation action plan

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 are committed to reconciliation and promoting the rights and opportunities of all peoples. 

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" 

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

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

reaffirming our commitment to reconciliation and the promotion of First Peoples’ rights and opportunities. We recognise the importance of building strong, respectful, and mutually beneficial relationships with First Peoples in all communities.
