Reconciliation Action Plan

In 2018, ANZCA launched an Indigenous Health Strategy and associated action plan for Australia and New Zealand. Developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) for the college is an important next step in our reconciliation with Australia’s First Nations peoples.

What is a RAP?

RAPs are part of Australia's national reconciliation movement. They provide a framework for organsiations to develop respectful relationships and create meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Through three core pillars – relationships, respect and opportunities – underpinned by governance and reporting practices, the RAP framework enables organisations to implement initiatives in the workplace and beyond.  

All RAPs must be approved by Reconciliation Australia – a national, independent organisation leading the nation’s reconciliation journey.

Developing ANZCA’s RAP

In 2021 we established a Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group comprising fellows, trainees, staff and community representatives. who will help to develop and deliver the college’s Innovate RAP.
