Our Reconciliation Action Plan

The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program was developed with Reconciliation Australia and provides a framework for organisations such as Mercy Community to support the national Reconciliation movement.

This is our first RAP—our Innovate RAP. It includes practical actions for us to take so that we may continue to build respectful relationships and create meaningful opportunities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. These actions align with our Mercy Community values of acceptance, excellence, dignity, empowerment, integrity and mercy.

We acknowledge and greatly appreciate the contributions, leadership and mentoring of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues and stakeholders in the development of this living document.

Mercy Community is actively working to finalise our current RAP and will provide a closing report to the Mercy Community Board of Directors and Reconciliation Australia in September 2023. Beyond this Mercy will consider our reconciliation journey as part of the organisation’s strategic planning process for 2024-2027. This will allow Mercy Community to develop a strategic plan that is underpinned by our vision for reconciliation.

Our vision for Reconciliation

Our vision for Reconciliation is for a world that embraces the diversity of Australia and has a deep respect for Traditional Custodians, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities.

"As we journey together with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and community, we hear but rather listen, we look but rather see, we talk but rather yarn."

For this, our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we commissioned original artwork from local artist Shara Delaney—descendant of the Noonuccal, Ngugi and Goenpul clan groups of Quandamooka that is located on the east coast of Brisbane. In the spirit of reconciliation, we commence the journey through our commissioned work with both an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation.
