About
Multicultural Australia acknowledges the traditional custodians of all the lands on which we meet, work and live. We recognise that this land has always been Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land and always will be.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders throughout all time — and recognise the immense cultural and linguistic strength and diversity that has existed on this land for tens of thousands of years.
Every day, we work to welcome new Australians from across the world. As we do this, we acknowledge the history and current realities of our First Nations people and understand our individual and collective responsibility towards the achievement of justice, equality and reconciliation.
Multicultural Australia and the multicultural communities we work closely with realise that understanding the past helps us shape a better future for all. We commit to learning from the knowledge, traditions, stories, spirituality and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We, who come from many places, acknowledge the welcome offered to us by the traditional custodians of this land, the world’s oldest living culture. We express our desire for deeper connection with Australia’s First Nations people, as we learn to live on their land.
Multicultural Australia respects and values Australia’s First Nations peoples’ enormous resilience, courage, determination and often unrecognised contributions to the country’s social and economic development. We walk together in solidarity, in the pain of the past and in the shared hope for the future.
About
Multicultural Australia’s 2024 – 2026 Reconciliation Action Plan was launched on 23 October 2024 at our Logan office.
Working so closely with a diversity of clients and community, we have a deep understanding of the need for focused action if progress is to be made toward creating an inclusive society.
Our journey toward this Reconciliation Action Plan across eight years has been one of learning, collaboration and engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and community members, and community leaders and members of the culturally and linguistically diverse communities that we work with.
Our vision for Reconciliation is an Australia that accepts the truth of our history, recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples of this country, and listens deeply to, values, celebrates, and learns from Indigenous peoples, cultures and knowledge.
It is a vision in which all Australians are unified in solidarity with each other, not just during significant dates but all year round, and in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights and dignity are upheld.
The importance of creating a Reconciliation Action Plan that is practical, well understood and embedded across our organisation has been central to this process, and refocusing the work on the basis of our recently developed Strategic Plan has elevated this further, allowing the creation of this plan to be intertwined with the structural framework for our day-to-day work.
The development of this document is testament to the commitment of our Reconciliation and Solidarity Working Group, who have worked toward this with passion and dedication to developing a deep understanding of what needs to be done by our organisation to progress toward Reconciliation.
We would like to share our heartfelt thanks and deep gratitude to the Elders, community leaders and members, and other contributors who helped us get to this point.
We are confident that this plan will make a significant contribution to elevating our understanding of the needs of and ability to support Indigenous clients, communities, stakeholders and staff and look forward to seeing it in action.
