Vicinity has today released its Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) 2022 – 2024, reaffirming its commitment to help achieve a reconciled Australia and building on the progress made in its two previous RAPs.
Vicinity CEO and Managing Director, Grant Kelley, said, “The release of our Innovate RAP demonstrates an organisation-wide commitment to advance reconciliation and support the local communities in which we operate.
Our commitment to be an inclusive organisation is at the heart of our RAP. The business community has a major role to play in Australia’s journey toward reconciliation and Vicinity welcomes our opportunity to help shape a positive outcome.
“We have great opportunities to pursue in employment, procurement and engagement with Traditional Custodians across our entire business.
