ARCH's Reflect RAP was developed in recognition of our commitment to creating an Australia in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights to self-determination, culture and land are celebrated and respected throughout Australia.

Our projects create physical changes and new buildings on country around Australia and we need to undertake this in a respectful, considered and creative manner.  Our services are mostly targeted towards the creation and improvement of community facilities such as health, wellbeing, education and recreation, and in delivering our work we aim to build partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and are proud to demonstrate our commitment to embracing reconciliation by launching our first RAP, which provides a framework for ARCH’s reconciliation initiatives.

We see our responsibility to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and help to strengthen connections between the communities we work with and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, to walk together and work together to address systemic issues of social exclusion, economic disadvantage and health inequality.

ARCH would like to thank all of our people for their support in helping us develop our Reflect RAP. Our RAP is an important step towards our better collaboration with First Nations peoples, and provides the opportunity to intentionally work together. We are excited to embark on this journey.
