We are committed to fostering an environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) people are valued and respected. Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), developed in partnership with Reconciliation Australia, provides a roadmap for us to build positive, sustainable relationships with ATSI people and their communities.

The RAP identifies practical actions based on the three pillars of Relationships, Respect and Opportunities. Its intent is to provide employment, training and commercial partnership opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, businesses and community organisations and to develop a better understanding of cross-cultural sensitivities to drive positive relationships.
