What is a Reconciliation Action (RAP) Plan?

A Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a formal document outlining how an organisation will contribute to reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia. RAPs are prepared by organizations in partnership with their local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities, and are intended to be living documents that evolve over time. Organizations that have developed a RAP do so as part of their commitment to contributing to the process of reconciliation. A RAP is a voluntary action plan and there is no legal requirement for organizations to have one. However, all Australian government departments and agencies are required to develop a RAP as part of the Commonwealth Government’s Reconciliation Action Plan Initiative.
