26/01/2026
January 26 isn’t a simple day. For many First Nations people, it carries deep pain and that’s something we sit with, not rush past.
For us, this day is about listening first, learning second. And taking responsibility in ways that last. Not just saying the right thing once a year, but doing the work over time. That’s been an ongoing commitment embedded into how we operate as a business since 2016.
We don’t see this as a symbolic gesture or a line in a CSR report. We believe organisations can and should play a role in meaningful change. That means backing words with action, even when it’s uncomfortable or ongoing.
In practice, that looks like a few things.
Our Australian-based team can choose not to take January 26 as a public holiday, and instead take another day that feels right to them.
We create space to listen and learn, led by First Nations voices. We invest in First Nations-led education, from sharing resources like Decolonise Yourself cards by Aretha Brown to taking part in a Truth Telling workshop.
We also back this work financially. Each year, we contribute $10,000 to Children's Ground, supporting their First Nations-led approach to systems change and self-determination.
And internally, we’re on a Together Plan journey, our commitment to building real, lasting relationships with First Nations communities, and to continuing to learn what partnership actually means in practice.
We’re still learning. Still reflecting. Still being challenged. But we’re committed to showing up consistently, guided by First Nations voices and in partnership with Children's Ground
