We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which SYC and our employees live and work. We pay our respects to their Ancestors, Ancestral Spirits, and Elders that have gone before us, those Elders still present with us today and the young Elders of the future. We extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples where we live and work.
SYC is committed to honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationship with the lands, waters and seas of their Country. We also want to thank and acknowledge our staff who continue to represent their Countries, mobs and ancestors.
SYC believes reconciliation must live in all Australians' hearts, minds and actions as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our Commitment to Reconciliation
We know from our work with people and communities in need, that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience a disproportionate level of social and economic disadvantage.
We want to move beyond acknowledgement of the traumatic histories and suffering of First Nations peoples to a united Australia that values and respects the cultural connection and generations of connectivity and understanding of our lands. Taking every opportunity to build the capacity and sustainability of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Explore our current Reconciliation Action Plan, Innovate. This RAP builds on the commitments and lessons from our Reflect RAP, celebrating our achievements and journey, whilst recognising there is still much to do to advance reconciliation in our community.
Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was delivered in 2022. This RAP recognises our formal commitment to closing the gap to improve opportunities and life outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
