In 2016, Ability Options made a commitment to Reconciliation through the development of a Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). The plan reinforces our current activities and details future actions.
We continue to focus on building respect and creating more opportunities for First Nations people in our community. As a leading provider of community services, we have a team fully dedicated to the inclusion and equity of all people.
Through this RAP, we continued to strengthen our relationships not only with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, but with elders and service providers who share our goal of reconciliation.
This plan was our first vision for an educated understanding around Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and contributions. It introduced cultural awareness training, celebrations of key cultural events, and has lifted our shared understanding of First Nations people.
As an organisation, we have a commitment to reconciliation and to support people to achieve their aspirations and inclusion in the community.
Our new and improved Ability Options Innovate RAP is currently in approval stages with Reconciliation Australia.
