We recognise Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge their ancient and continuing connection to Country.
Our 15 offices and depots are located on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung (Melbourne CBD and Burnley), Bunurong and Boon Wurrung (Brooklyn), Wadawurrung (Ballarat and Geelong), Dja Dja Wurrung Clans (Bendigo and Maryborough), Yorta Yorta Nations (Cobram, Echuca and Shepparton), Eastern Maar (Colac), Latj Latj (Mildura), Wotjobaluk (Horsham), Taungurung (Kyneton) and Eastern Maar and Gunditjmara (Warrnambool).
An inclusive and unified Victoria, that honours, acknowledges, learns from and respects First Peoples’ history, heritage, culture and rights as Traditional Owners, leading to the development of respectful and mutually beneficial relationships, increased opportunities, greater equity and better outcomes for all.
To help us achieve our vision for reconciliation, we have developed our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). RAPs provide tangible and substantive benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, increasing economic equity and supporting First Peoples self-determination.
The Reflect RAP is guided by the following goals:
To provide First Peoples’ knowledge, perspectives and guidance on the development and delivery of our Reflect RAP and associated commitments, we have established a First Peoples Advisory Committee.
If you require the document in an alternative format please contact us.
To help us achieve our goals we have identified the following key focus areas.
If we are going to build relationships with First Peoples across our network, we need to better understand First Peoples cultures, histories and lived realities.
To achieve this, we are undertaking cultural awareness training. Our executive team have already completed this training and similar group sessions as well as on-line training is being made available to all employees. We are also providing cultural safety training to ensure we create culturally safe workplaces for First Peoples who work with us now and in the future.
