Reconciliation Action Plan

Our purpose

WorkSafe is Victoria's health and safety regulator and workplace injury insurer.

As such, we have a clear purpose to reduce harm and improve outcomes for injured workers.

We acknowledge past wrongs and injustices to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We see the abiding impact of these wrongs on them.

We want all Victorian work places to be culturally safe, so that First Nations peoples can thrive.

Our journey so far

We know that we can't contribute to reconciliation, if our employees don't know what it means. As such, WorkSafe has focused on building cultural awareness across our organisation.

As of September 2023:

• 88% of our people leaders, and
• 75% of all employees

have completed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural awareness training.

We recognise we still have much to learn and do.

Our commitment

Through our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan we will deepen our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

We will do this by connecting to community, to Country and to each other.

We will create space for storytelling and truth telling. We will learn through listening.

Through ongoing engagement with First Nations peoples, we will continue to improve our programs, policies, and practices to support reconciliation outcomes.

We will contribute to closing the gap in health and safety and other areas within our influence.

Our 2024 – 2025 Reflect RAP is the first plan WorkSafe have developed in partnership with Reconciliation Australia.
