Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan
We aspire to drive positive change by embedding reconciliation into our operations - championing cultural understanding, fostering genuine partnerships, and ensuring our services, workplaces, and advocacy reflect and celebrate the diversity of all peoples.
Our ultimate goal is to create a Western Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices shape decisions, benefit from opportunities, and experience positive outcomes - contributing to a more inclusive Western Australia for all.

Uthudu Wajjoo Wilu by Rhianna Couzens
We partnered with Nhanda-Wajarri woman Rhianna Couzens and Nani Creative to develop new artwork for RAC that reflects our history, our role as a member organisation in the WA community, and our ongoing commitment to learning from, engaging with, and supporting Aboriginal peoples.
Rhianna created a remarkable piece titled Uthudu Wajjoo Wilu, which means Land, Road and Sea in Nhanda language.
Our previous projects
In 2023, RAC’s Youth Engagement team partnered with young people from Polly Farmer Follow the Dream to empower them to create a safer, more sustainable and better-connected community.
The project, delivered in collaboration with the Town of Port Hedland and Town Team Movement saw the young people cleverly curate a street calming initiative along Wise Terrace that was notorious for speeding and illegal parking.
The Youth Engagement team connected the young people with artists to co-design and create the mural based on their local stories and connection to Country. It took four days to install, and local community members commented on how wonderful it was to see young people making their mark.
As part of our West Perth office refurbishment in 2021-2022, we partnered with Professor Len Collard from Moodjar Consultancy to help us with the Noongar naming of our new office space.
A series of workshops were facilitated by Professor Collard where Traditional Owners and senior leaders came together to actively participate in a set of linguistic Noongar language de-coding exercises to reveal and recommend a suitable set of Noongar names and associated meanings for spaces and the building.
The name Koorlup, meaning the place of coming and going, was selected by our Executive team following a series of workshops facilitated by Professor Collard.
During National Reconciliation Week 2022, we launched our Acknowledgement of Country art project. Five Aboriginal artists across five different Countries were chosen to represent their culture and heritage through our public artwork. The original artworks were proudly displayed at the RAC locations on the Country the artwork represents.
In collaboration with Aboriginal graphic design firm Nani Creative, the artists and our Creative Services team, the pieces were digitised so they could be temporarily displayed throughout communities during National Reconciliation Week, National Road Safety Week, and the WA Day long weekend.
These outdoor displays, featured across billboards and buses, not only helped us raise awareness of Aboriginal lands and cultures, but also encouraged people to take care on the roads, during their journey.
In collaboration with Aboriginal Artist Rhys Paddick and Cecil Andrews College, we invited young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to participate in a nine-week Artist in Residence Program.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Cecil Andrews College in Seville Grove engaged with the program, exploring the theme of 'Identity': who you are, how you see yourself.
Students were encouraged to develop a story that is meaningful to themselves with the connection to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. At the conclusion of the program, RAC hosted an Art Exhibition at the college where students showcased their artworks and invited their families to an afternoon tea with all Cecil Andrews College Staff and the RAC RAP Working Group.
