Our vision for a reconciled Australia is for workplaces and communities where First Nations peoples have autonomy, choice and prosperity through meaningful employment, career progression and socio-economic empowerment. We ensure that respect for First Nations communities and cultures is embedded in workplaces, fostering more inclusive opportunities, and celebrating over 65,000 years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ knowledge, histories, and their ongoing connection to land, waters, skies and communities.
We see our vision being achieved through:
safeguarding the rights, opportunities and working conditions that help all Australians thrive
achieving greater economic and social inclusion by delivering initiatives to upskill and train First Nations peoples
delivering employment programs and services
aligning the needs of employers and industry with the aspirations of First Nations peoples
setting the standard as a model employer who engages, embraces and supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and practices.
We recognise the importance of truth-telling as an important starting point in the pursuit of reconciliation and self-determination for First Nations peoples and the foundation for our Innovate RAP.
