Our new Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2025-2027 confirms our commitment to the reconciliation journey Australia is on and identifies areas where we believe we can have a positive impact.
Our vision for reconciliation
Our vision for the future of Australia is one where our nation is actively anti-racist, promotes equality and equity, celebrates diversity, and embraces unity between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community. We aim to be an active participant in Australia’s reconciliation journey and a role model for other mission-driven organisations.
Guided by our mission, we also seek to is to strengthen the communities in which we work by improving the social and economic wellbeing of all.
To achieve this vision through our everyday work, we:
- Commit to forging stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities so we can play a part in enhancing positive race relations.
- Understand that there is no reconciliation without truth. We will strengthen our awareness internally of the unique value of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and seek opportunities to share this information with stakeholders and peers.
- Aim to partner and work with Indigenous organisations to strengthen the social, cultural, and economic wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Peoples through our work.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan
Our refreshed Innovate RAP strengthens our commitment to reconciliation, respect, and meaningful partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across our work in Australia and throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
This RAP sets out practical actions to turn our words into impact, including the establishment of Abt’s Indigenous Advisory Panel. This panel brings together a diverse group of First Nations Australian consultants and organisations to ensure Indigenous perspectives are embedded across our work, and to support accountability.
As an organisation, Abt strives to improve the lives and economic wellbeing of all people worldwide and specifically Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia. First Nations Australians have long shown us that harmonious connection empowers us to gather and share knowledge and ideas to achieve our common purpose. Abt is mission-driven business with a long-term commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and our new Innovate RAP will guide us on this journey.
