KU’s ongoing work, and what it meant for
beginning to develop our RAP.”
Developing KU’s RAP has been a three-year
journey involving a working group of KU
staff representatives, including Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander people. That
group worked closely with Reconciliation
Australia, members of KU’s Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Reference Group, the
KU Executive Team and KU Board.
We look forward to implementing KU’s
Innovate RAP over the next two years and
embedding its philosophy in our day to
day operations. Each KU centre will use
the Narragunnawali Program to develop
their own centre RAP; identifying goals
and actions specific to each centre’s
journey of reconciliation.
In celebration, an artwork by Aboriginal
artist, Karen Maber, was commissioned by
KU. The painting reflects the tree of learning
acknowledging that we have so much to
learn from our First Nation’s peoples, their
history of cultures rich in family and kinship,
and their strong sense of belonging to and
caring for their country, that goes back
thousands of years.
