What are Reconciliation Action Plans
A RAP is a strategic document with practical plans for action. It sets out how an organisation is committing to contribute to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The RAP Program helps advance the five dimensions of reconciliation by supporting organisations to develop respectful relationships and create significant opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
RAPs are making a difference throughout Australia in workplaces, universities, schools, government and community organisations. This collective action is creating the precise setting for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to access sustainable employment and business opportunities.
Over a hundred and twenty NFPs throughout Australia already have a RAP – however that leaves many 1000's that are nonetheless to take this step. Take a look at all the organisations currently implementing their RAPs and helping drive change across all sectors and areas of Australia.
Why develop a RAP?
RAPs provide a structured, nationally recognised, tried and tested model in your workplace to formalise commitments to reconciliation. They help to foster a community of shared value, goals and a common language when it involves reconciliation.
By developing a RAP, your organisation can flip good intentions into positive actions and be part of the collective motion for reconciliation. This means your NFP might be part of the steps forward — actively helping to build higher trust, decrease prejudice, and increased pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
Finding the RAP that’s right on your organisation.
There are four types of RAPs for workplaces: Replicate, Innovate, Stretch or Elevate. This means that there’s a RAP designed to suit your organisation at each stage of its reconciliation journey.
Replicate RAP – Scoping reconciliation
A Mirror RAP clearly sets out the steps your organisation will take to scope and develop relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders, decide in your vision for reconciliation and discover your sphere of influence, earlier than committing to specific actions or initiatives.
An Innovate RAP outlines actions that work towards achieving your organisation’s distinctive vision for reconciliation. Commitments in this RAP enable your NFP to be aspirational and modern to help your organisation achieve a deeper understanding of its sphere of affect, and establish the very best approach to advance reconciliation.
Elevate RAP – Leadership in reconciliation
Elevate RAP organisations have a strong strategic relationship with Reconciliation Australia and actively champion initiatives to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and create societal change. Organisations are also required to have greater transparency and accountability through unbiased assessment of their activities.
