Reconciliation

Our vision for reconciliation is to be actively involved in embedding First Nations cultures and worldviews into the solutions we create for places and communities.

Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) builds on our previous RAP and focuses on the areas we believe will make the biggest difference in supporting our shared journey towards reconciliation.

We developed our current Innovate RAP in partnership with social change agency Cox Inall Ridgeway with whom we have built a strong relationship that has spanned many years. We are proud to have received formal endorsement from Reconciliation Australia and to be recognised as a member of the RAP network.

Some actions within our RAP include:

  • Amplify our understanding, value and recognition of First Nations cultures, histories, knowledge and rights through cultural learning.
  • Improve employment outcomes by increasing First Nations recruitment, retention and professional development.
  • Increase First Nations supplier diversity to support improved economic and social outcomes.
  • Contribute to activities that support First Nations self-determination in relation to land use planning and development.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey and the work that is required to deliver more equitable outcomes for First Nations peoples. As we plan our next RAP, we will build on our strengths and achievements from our current RAP while focusing on the opportunities that exist for us to refine our direction so that our RAP becomes embedded within our DNA.
