Reconciliation Action Plan

Building Bridges On The Paths Less Travelled

Our Reconciliation Action Plan is a reflection of our deep respect for the First Nations peoples of the lands on which we live, work, and travel. It formalises our commitment to acknowledging truth, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating pathways that support equity, inclusion, and cultural recognition.

During the first 12 months of the two-year RAP, we remained steadfast in embedding our commitment to reconciliation into every facet of our work in Australia. Read about the progress made here in our RAP Progress Report Year 1.

Through our RAP we are moving forward, guided by the wisdom of the past and the hope for a better future.

    What is a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)?

    A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a strategic framework designed to help organisations contribute to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community.

    It is a commitment to building respectful relationships, creating meaningful opportunities, and addressing inequalities that have historically existed.

    Through our RAP, we aspire to create lasting connections and work together towards a more equitable and inclusive future.

    Why Are We Doing This?

    We hold a strong belief in the importance of building bridges and nurturing a sense of community in everything we do.

    We recognise that the histories, cultures, and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are an integral part of our nation's identity.

    By embarking on this journey of reconciliation, we are taking an active step towards acknowledging past injustices, promoting cultural understanding, and creating a more inclusive environment for all.

    How Are We Doing This?

    We have discerned a multitude of strategic avenues through which our organisation can actively cultivate connections, promote mutual respect, pinpoint prospects, and establish robust governance and monitoring mechanisms.

    Our endeavors within four pivotal areas of focus, Relationships, Respect, Opportunities and Governance, will provide the cornerstone upon which we can firmly ground our ongoing dedication to the cause of reconciliation.

We wish to acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Central and Western Arrernte Country, who have provided us the opportunity to explore the ancient landscape of the West MacDonnell Ranges. The Arrernte (pronounced Ah-runda) people are the original indigenous inhabitants of the Arrernte land, which stretches as far east as the Wallace Rock Hole, through Alice Springs, to the west to Watarrka (Kings Canyon) and as far as the Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park. Rich in waterholes, gorges, and spectacular mountain ranges, the land provides ideal living conditions for many plants and wildlife which can be seen along the trail. ------------------------------ Like this?
