Reconciliation
INNOVATE RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN
FEBRUARY 2024 – FEBRUARY 2026
Kelsian launched its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in July 2024.
Classified at the 'Innovate' level by Reconciliation Australia, this significant milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering strong relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and implementing strategies for further reconciliation.
The 'Innovate' RAP allows Kelsian to test and establish effective initiatives that promote cultural awareness, inclusivity, and respect within our organisation and the broader community. This plan includes a range of actions aimed at increasing cultural competency, supporting economic opportunities, and enhancing engagement with Indigenous communities.
CONNECTING COMMUNITIES
Artwork by Shane Mankitya Cook
“Connecting Communities” created by Wulli Wulli and Guwa artist Shane Cook, symbolises the significance of First Nations navigation and travel, connecting individuals, communities, and cultures.
The artwork invites viewers to reflect on shared experiences that transcend boundaries through vibrant colours, dynamic composition, layering of elements/symbols and intertwining. It celebrates how travel fosters understanding, unity, and the creation stories.
