Our Reconciliation Journey
Karitane envisages an Australia in which relationships between First Nations peoples and other Australians are strong: an Australia which acknowledges and addresses the hard truths of our history, and where respect for First Nations peoples, cultures, wisdom, and resilience is embedded in family life, in schools, workplaces and in other institutions, including our own.
Innovation is at the core of our business strategy and the heart of Karitane’s values. However, true innovation extends beyond technological advancements and sector leadership. It is about innovating in our approach to relationships, understanding, and respect. Our RAP commits us to focus on how we engage with First Nations communities, ensuring their voices are heard, their contributions recognised, and their heritage respected.
Our vision is to lead by example, demonstrating that reconciliation is not a box to be ticked but a transformative journey. This plan outlines Karitane’s commitment to specific actions we will take to embed reconciliation into the culture of our organisation. From fostering inclusive workplaces, enhancing education, to supporting First Nations businesses, each initiative a step toward a more equitable and inclusive society.
We are all personally committed to driving this agenda forward, ensuring that our actions today pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. We encourage everyone at Karitane to embrace this plan with the same passion and dedication that defines our pursuit of innovation. Together, we hope to create a legacy of reconciliation and innovation that will inspire others to follow.
