Reconciliation at Interaction Consulting

Interaction Consulting acknowledges the traditional Aboriginal custodians of Canberra and celebrates their ongoing cultures and contribution to the ACT and region. We also acknowledge that many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from across Australia have now made Canberra their home and we also acknowledge and celebrate their cultures and diversity and their contribution to the ACT and region.

We further pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Reconciliation Action Plan

This Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) defines our commitments and dedications to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian population and it contributes to closing the gap between health, education, and jobs between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the rest of the population.

This plan begins with a deep commitment to building the cultural competency of all members of our organisation. From this cultural competency, we will build on capacity building of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples owned organisations.

Interaction Consulting values and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures and authentically seeks opportunities to increase our participation with, and the representation of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our organisation.

We are extremely honoured to provide equal and equitable employment, education and training opportunities to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in, through our commitment to the communities. Through superior service and capacity building, we hope to make a significant and last contribution to reconciliation.

This RAP documents our commitment and outlines our reconciliation initiatives and commits to establishing the governance framework by which we will monitor and drive further opportunities to true and lasting reconciliation.

Our RAP artwork

The artwork represents Interaction's journey to reconciliation through driving global positive change and wellbeing, through consultancy excellence and innovation. The artist wanted to symbolise the importance of reconciliation and how Interaction is proud of its journey towards its future - just as the artist was proud in having the opportunity to create this piece. The centre of the artwork represents Interaction's connection and commitment to its reconciliation journey. The symbols surrounding the centre signify the coming together of people and the business. The outside pathways represent the connection of the Interaction team and the company values which are represented as meeting places within the pathways. The smaller rings on the pathways represent the future within the values and the team. The blue rings represent the landscape Interaction is based - Ngunnawal Country - Canberra, Australia.

This artwork is a reflection of the journey that Interaction will take in building and connecting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
