Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan
ARAS is proud to announce the formal endorsement of our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2025–2027 by Reconciliation Australia. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening relationships with First Nations peoples, fostering respect, and creating meaningful opportunities for cultural awareness and inclusion. Our Innovate RAP builds on the foundation of our Reflect RAP and represents a step forward in embedding reconciliation into our everyday work.
We thank Reconciliation Australia, our Reconciliation Working Group, and the many stakeholders who have contributed to this journey. ARAS remains committed to ensuring that reconciliation is not just a statement but a sustained and meaningful action.
Our vision for reconciliation
ARAS envisions a community where all older people are valued and respected, and reconciliation with First Nations peoples is central to this. We are committed to strengthening relationships, promoting respect, and providing equal opportunities for all. Our goal is to honour the rich cultural histories of First Nations peoples, ensuring their Elders are respected for their wisdom. Through collaboration with service providers, we aim to increase community engagement and foster education.
We are also focused on raising awareness of abuse of older people, and promoting early intervention through intergenerational gatherings and systemic advocacy.
In essence, ARAS strives for a community where reconciliation is embedded in every interaction, cultural diversity is celebrated, and First Nations peoples are fully respected and included.
