Reconciliation Action Plan and National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Staff Network
Reconciliation Action Plan
Our department is in a unique position to fundamentally contribute to improving the health status and access to high quality services for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people(s) and to close the life expectancy gap. To support us in our work, the RAP highlights our commitment to reconciliation and details activities to build positive relationships and provide equitable opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people(s).
As a large government department, we want to continue to be an employer of choice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff. Our RAP commits the department to actively nurturing an inclusive culture that values the contribution, skills and knowledge of all staff and promotes values embraced by, and significant to, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees.
