We're committed to supporting positive outcomes for First Nations peoples, communities and organisations
We acknowledge all First Nations people as being the original carers of their lands, and we recognise and respect the importance of local customs and practices in preserving their communities and culture.
Serco is committed to being meaningful partner in reconciliation by instilling a shared pride in First Nations’ cultures, providing culturally safe and sustainable employment and education opportunities, making workplaces inclusive through language, representation and policy, and fostering an environment of belonging.
At Serco, we know that diversity is our strength. It helps us to understand, to innovate and ultimately, better meet the diverse needs of the communities we serve. We recognise that as one team, we are stronger.
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
In late 2023, Serco were awarded the status of Stretch RAP which was developed under Reconciliation Australia’s RAP RISE (Reflect, Innovate, Stretch, Elevate) framework, building on the work done since Serco’s first RAP in 2017.
