Southern Ports Authority is currently developing our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which will formalise our commitment to fostering respectful and meaningful relationships with Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities.
It will guide our policies and procedures, build awareness, remove barriers, and support our staff and organisation in our reconciliation journey.
While we work towards formalising our Reconciliation Action Plan, we are actively supporting the Aboriginal communities in the regions we operate in through events, projects, and initiatives.
