Our Commitment Plan was developed with guidance from Aboriginal stakeholders and continues to be informed by Aboriginal voices, lived experience and community perspectives. This ongoing engagement helps ensure our actions are meaningful, culturally informed and responsive to community priorities. We continue to make positive progress in delivering the actions outlined in our Commitment Plan.
The update below provides an overview of the work completed to date, highlights key achievements, and identifies areas of ongoing focus as we work towards our commitments.
Our progress includes:
📚 Building cultural capability: providing cultural competency, trauma-informed and anti-discrimination training, and increasing access to Aboriginal culture and history resources
❤️ 💛 🖤 Creating culturally safe spaces: recognising and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories across our offices, events and workplace
🤝 Strengthening community connections: continuing to work with the Palawa Advisory Group, the Tasmania Aboriginal Centre and Aboriginal community organisations to listen, learn and identify opportunities for change
⚖️ Advocating for better justice outcomes: supporting culturally appropriate approaches to justice, including Koori Court and Circle Sentencing, and advocating on youth justice issues and the age of criminal responsibility
🏛️ Improving access to legal services: developing accessible information about our services and working towards a Legal Outreach Clinic in partnership with the Tasmania Aboriginal Centre
🌱 Creating opportunities: supporting the Rosie Smith Law Scholarship and exploring opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment, professional development and business engagement.
We recognise that meaningful change takes time, requires ongoing commitment and must be informed by Aboriginal voices and community perspectives.
We will continue to listen, learn and work collaboratively to strengthen cultural safety, improve access to legal assistance and advocate for a fairer justice system for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
