Reconciliation Action Plan

Did you know that we have a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)? 

Reconciliation Australia’s RAP Framework helps organisations take formal, actionable steps towards reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Having a formal RAP allows us to turn good intentions into action and to support the national reconciliation movement. Our Stretch RAP 2025 – 2028 is the third RAP we have developed since 2018.
