This will provide a federal advisory body in Australia to represent the views of Indigenous Australians, that is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, from across the country.
The Y Geelong want to hear the views of our community and those First Nations staff and community members as we embark on the development of an organisational Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
A RAP seeks to put in place actions around the core pillars of:
- Relationships
- Respect
- Opportunities
RAPs provide tangible and substantive benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, increasing economic equity and supporting First Nations' self-determination.
You can help our community via our survey here.
Survey closes April 30th
