Reconciliation
Acknowledgement of Country
Service Stream acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and we recognise their role in connection to lands, waters and culture Australia-wide. We pay our respects to the Ancestors and Elders past, present and emerging, especially those within Service Stream and our broader stakeholder networks.
Service Stream is enriched by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ contribution to our organisation and we are committed to working with you to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Service Stream’s vision for reconciliation is one of unity — to see all of Australia’s communities truly connected with access to equitable standards of living and the abundant opportunities offered across the essential Infrastructure industries that our business is proud to support and millions of Australians rely on every day, improving liveability for all.
- Embracing relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, businesses and communities.
- Creating respectful, inclusive environments that embrace equity and inclusion and acknowledge our shared histories and cultures.
- Working hand-in-hand to create opportunities that inspire and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our business, supply chains and communities, by investing in our business’ cultural capability.
The practical actions that we commit to in this Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan will be guided by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, perspectives and cultures, to connect communities, show respect for the connection to land, identity and culture, and value the contribution of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and partners.
