The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) provides a framework for the Department to support the national reconciliation movement.
The RAP contributes to the five dimensions of reconciliation by supporting the development of respectful relationships and creating meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The Department has developed a Stretch RAP 2025-2028, which outlines the concrete actions to achieve our vision for reconciliation. The RAP contains actions aligned to the goals of Relationships, Respect and Opportunities as defined by Reconciliation Australia
“Our vision for reconciliation is for our land and places to acknowledge, celebrate and protect the rich histories of local Aboriginal cultures; to see all First Nations people thriving from opportunity; and to see all of our employees building strong, collaborative relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We strive to deliver social, economic and cultural outcomes that empower Aboriginal peoples, businesses and organisations; ensure the voice of First Nations people is heard and respected; and support the integration of Aboriginal cultures to build stronger communities across Western Australia.”
Enhancing our approach to reconciliation
As a Department we are always seeking ways of improving our approach to reconciliation.
