Reconciliation Action Plan

Details
Published: 18 February 2025
Reconciliation

The Reflect RAP sets out ECSA’s commitment to reconciliation and the actions it will take to build the organisations understanding and recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands cultures, histories, knowledge and rights.

 

This RAP is the starting point of ECSA’s reconciliation journey.

ECSA has a proud history of collaborating with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities throughout South Australia to ensure they can exercise their rights to participate in electoral events, including the APY Executive Board and the SA Local First Nations Voice to Parliament elections.

This Reflect RAP aims to build upon and consolidate these previous efforts, enshrining reconciliation as a core priority for ECSA in the lead-up to future State, Local Government, and other First Nations elections. It represents ECSA’s commitment to continually improving its effectiveness in working with diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities—whether remote, regional, or urban—and delivering electoral services that meet their needs.
