FAQs
What is Reconciliation?
Reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community, for the benefit of all Australians.
What is a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)?
A RAP is a strategic document that enables organisations to take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. Focused on the key elements of relationships, respect, and opportunities, RAPs offer meaningful change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The four RAP types include Reflect, Innovate, Stretch and Elevate. Each type of RAP is tailored to suit an organisation at various stages in their reconciliation journey.
What is a Reflect RAP?
A Reflect RAP helps prepare an organisation to engage in reconciliation meaningfully. It involves building relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and identifying where organisations can make the most meaningful impact within its sphere of influence.
How will this impact the community?
The Reflect RAP will serve as a strategic framework for Randwick City Council to initiate and drive meaningful reconciliation actions, both within the organisation and across the broader community. Developing the first RAP at Randwick City Council lays a strong foundation for reconciliation, and paves the way for long-term and sustainable outcomes. This commitment will foster a more inclusive, respectful, and unified community and build positive relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the wider community.
