In 2006, Reconciliation Australia launched a new program to progress reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians by creating workplaces where everyone is included, valued and understood. In this context, the JACS RAP complements the aims of the ACT Government’s Respect, Equity and Diversity (RED) Framework and a number of actions under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Justice Agreement.
The RAP is a tool to help improve the directorate’s engagement, consultation and partnerships with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, clients and stakeholders. It sets out how JACS can contribute to “closing the gap”.
