Reconciliation Action Plans

Learn about what a Reconciliation Action Plan is, why they're important, and the RAP process.

What is a Reconciliation Action Plan?

The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program is managed and overseen by the National peak body, Reconciliation Australia. RAPs enable organisations to sustainably and strategically take meaningful action to advance reconciliation.

There are four levels of RAPs, Reflect, Innovate, Stretch and Elevate each aimed at allowing organisations to determine the level of commitment and capacity to deliver. 

Each level is designed to suit an organisation at different stages of the reconciliation journey.  

Visit the Reconciliation Australia website to learn more.

The RAP Journey

Step 01: Discuss

Discussing the benefits, opportunities, challenges and practically all form part of the decision making process.

Step 02: Engage

We engage across the organisation with all staff, face to face and through surveys to gather information. We seek your stakeholders feedback and we engage the community to provide recommendations. 

Step 03: Understand

Understanding the RAP process, aligning goals and aspirations, being realistic and purposeful are critical to steps in the RAP journey.
