What our RAP is (and what it isn’t)
Our Reflect RAP is the first formal stage in the RAP program—a foundation plan designed to help organisations build cultural awareness, strengthen relationships, and understand where they can make meaningful change. It’s also the blueprint that sets up future steps, so reconciliation work is sustainable rather than performative.
In plain terms: it’s our commitment in writing, with actions, timelines, and accountability—so we can measure progress and keep improving.
Why reconciliation is important to us
As a law firm, we work in systems that have not served Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples equally or fairly—historically or today. Our RAP recognises the truth of that history and the ongoing impacts of colonisation and dispossession. It commits us to learning, truth-telling, and building relationships grounded in trust and shared opportunity.
There’s also a clear professional reality: culturally capable organisations make better decisions, reduce risk, attract and retain great people, and build stronger community trust. Our RAP reflects that, too.
The focus areas of our Reflect RAP
1) Relationships
We’re focused on building meaningful, respectful connections with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, organisations, clients and stakeholders—guided by listening and genuine engagement, not box-ticking. This includes strengthening pathways with community partners and identifying key stakeholders within our local networks.
2) Respect
Respect starts with understanding. Our RAP commits us to improving cultural capability across the firm—lifting knowledge of cultures, histories, rights, and protocols (including Acknowledgement of Country and Welcome to Country), and embedding that understanding into everyday practice.
3) Opportunities
Reconciliation has to create real opportunity, not just good intentions. Our RAP includes commitments to explore pathways that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation—such as scholarship and internship concepts, improving recruitment approaches, and building a workplace environment where people feel culturally safe and supported.
It also recognises the importance of supplier diversity—creating a business case for procurement from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-owned enterprises and considering initiatives that support ethical, inclusive purchasing.
4) Governance
A plan without ownership is just a PDF. Our RAP sets responsibilities, timeframes, and internal governance so this work is led, monitored, and improved—not left to goodwill alone.
What this means for our clients and community
Our RAP strengthens how we show up—as advisors, advocates, and community participants—by building cultural competence, fostering respectful engagement, and ensuring our actions are informed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and priorities.
Reconciliation is ongoing. We’re in it for the long haul—and we’re committed to doing it with humility, purpose, and integrity.
