First Nations

We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this land and we pay our respect to their Elders past, present and future. It is important that we recognise that our customers and infrastructure live on ancestral lands.

Connecting our workplace to Australia’s oldest living culture

Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) sets out key actions and deliverables to connect the organisation to First Nations communities through education and knowledge sharing, building economic empowerment and a culturally safe workplace.

First Nations Employee Resource Group

Our First Nations employee resource group supports the RAP in providing opportunities to build the capability and participation of First Nations peoples at all levels in our organisation while promoting culture and community engagement.

First Nations Cultural Safety and Awareness Training

First Nations cultural safety is key to creating respectful and safe workplaces. In partnership with Indigenous facilitators, we aim to build First Nations cultural safety and capability for our people.

EmPower First Nations Pre-Apprenticeship Program

In partnership with NECA Training and Apprenticeships, we provide career pathways for First Nations people seeking a career in the electrical industry.

Social Procurement Working Group
