As we mark the opening of , we are proud to share our ongoing commitment to walking alongside First Nations peoples in a spirit of partnership, respect and shared progress. This year’s theme calls on all of us to move beyond intention and take meaningful, collective action something, strongly resonating with how we approach reconciliation across our operations.
Andrew Bartha, Serco Asia Pacific’s National Manager Indigenous Affairs & Connection, reflected on the significance of this week: “National Reconciliation Week is a powerful reminder that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility. I am proud to lead Serco in this journey as we focus on continuing to listen, learn and act. Our journey is about creating genuine opportunity, strengthening cultural understanding, and standing alongside First Nations peoples with purpose and respect.
“Serco’s breadth of services provides a unique platform to support reconciliation, ensuring our actions reflect First Nations cultures and perspectives, are delivered in a culturally safe way, and create meaningful impact in the communities we serve.”
At Serco, is embedded in how we deliver services, build relationships and create opportunities. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) journey, we are elevating the progress made since our first RAP in 2017, continuing to embed reconciliation across our business.
“We’ve made strong progress in our Stretch RAP (2024–2027), with 91 initiatives identified and 72 already completed, representing 79% delivery,” said Andrew.
“These are practical actions that strengthen cultural connection, support employment pathways and build trust across the communities we serve.
“We’re already seeing this in action; 6.99% of our supply chain spend is directed to First Nations–owned businesses, exceeding our RAP target and demonstrating how meaningful engagement can translate into stronger communities and sustainable growth.”
As we look to the future, and strive to achieve Elevate RAP status, we are focused on deepening our impact: moving further from commitment to accountability, from action to sustained outcomes. Elevate represents a step-change: embedding reconciliation into every part of our business and ensuring our partnerships drive long-term value for peoples and communities.
For Serco, being “ALL IN” means showing up consistently, backing our commitments with action, and working collaboratively to deliver real outcomes.
It means creating safe, inclusive environments for our people, enabling Indigenous voices to lead, and ensuring our services contribute to stronger, more connected communities.
This National Reconciliation Week, we acknowledge how far we’ve come and remain focused on the work ahead.
