Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan

PWDA believe we can contribute meaningfully to reconciliation in our
sphere of influence. A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) will give PWDA the appropriate direction and guidelines to prioritise this work.

The intersectionality of being an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
person with disability can often lead to increased discrimination. We
as a DPO (disabled people’s organisation) can see the importance of
implementing a Reconciliation Action Plan, and we are proud to do so.

PWDA has taken input from all staff members, including Aboriginal staff,
as well as seeking external input.

We have developed a realistic and achievable RAP that is relevant to the
work we do. We do not want our RAP to act as tokenistic ‘lip service’, or to
be the start and end of our reconciliation journey, rather, we want it to act
as a policy that helps guide us forward as an organisation.

The implementation of PWDA’s Reflect RAP will be guided by Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders, Communities, and staff.

PWDA’s inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan, including Easy Read documents, is available.

This plan marks an important step in our reconciliation journey and outlines the actions we will take to strengthen relationships with First Nations peoples.
