Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan 2023-2026 reinforces our department's commitment to working towards lasting and genuine reconciliation.

This is an important step in our reconciliation journey and our vision for reconciliation in South Australia is for the relationship between First Nations peoples and the wider community to be built on trust, respect, healing and unity.

Our vision for reconciliation over the next three years have been guided by our values set out in the strategic direction, of Curious, Courageous and Connected. The Innovate RAP 2023 - 2026 focuses on:

• Celebrating First Nations peoples lives, communities and cultures from across Australia and using our sphere of influence to be a leading reconciliation advocate and ally
• Valuing our First Nations workforce, their diverse cultural lenses and understandings and learning from our First Nations colleagues, their perspectives and ways of ‘knowing, being, and doing’
• Honestly acknowledging and accepting the truths about First Nations peoples historical experiences of colonisation and harmful, controlling policies
• Setting a strong foundation for engagement, understanding, collaboration, and mutual respect between First Nations peoples and the broader South Australian communities to support, explore and create opportunities to grow and support First Nations businesses
• Supporting the economic development, participation and self-empowerment of First Nations peoples and communities.

Our Innovate RAP follows on from our previous Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan 2020-2023, which you can find out more from our Stretch RAP Final Outcomes Report.
