Our journey and vision for reconciliation Georgiou continues to respect, acknowledge and celebrate First Nation history, weaving the cultural practices, traditions, and customs of the First Nations people into day-to-day business operations.
Georgiou’s vision for reconciliation is to work hand-in-hand with First Nations peoples, businesses and communities to enhance employment and training opportunities, increase our team’s understanding of the importance of reconciliation and forge strong, enduring relationships that promote recognition and respect.
Georgiou prides itself on collaborating with First Nations people at all stages of the project lifecycle through to delivery. Whether it’s engaging with community groups to understand cultural areas of significance prior to works starting or partnering with First Nations businesses and providing development opportunities and mentoring, Georgiou’s commitment is unwavering.
Reconciliation Action Plan
As the first construction company to have their Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) endorsed by Reconciliation Australia in 2011, it’s important Georgiou continues to lead the way when it comes to providing opportunity and employment outcomes for First Nations people. Our third Innovate RAP, finalised in March 2024 focuses on:
- Taking our lessons learnt and improving our engagement with the First Nations communities.
- Supporting and mentoring emerging First Nations businesses to become long-term partners to industry.
- Growing sustainable careers for First Nations peoples across both professional and construction roles.
- Promoting a culture of awareness and respect for First Nations cultures across the business, bringing all levels of our team on the journey for reconciliation, where actions become business as usual and we are one step closer to reconciliation.
Our RAP also celebrates the incredible journey we’ve been on, and demonstrates how we ensure social and economic outcomes for First Nations people are achieved on our projects.
