This Innovate RAP is an important stepping stone to realise our vision. The key focus areas of this RAP are to:

• Improve workplace cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff. This includes a focus on anti-racism and lateral violence.
• Build the cultural awareness and capability of all staff in line with the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Capability Framework, ensuring we apply learnings to our everyday work.
• Foster meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff through the cultural capability domains of knowing, doing and being, so that their voices and perspectives are genuinely heard and valued.
• Increase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation in line with APS-wide targets, improve professional development opportunities and better support career aspirations.
• Strengthen engagement and relationships with external Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders.
• Harness PM&C’s capability, authorising environment and central position in government to advance reconciliation efforts across the APS and broader community within our sphere of influence.
