The Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan

The DTA plays a leading role in improving and evolving the way government services are delivered – to deliver simple, secure, and connected public services for people and business through world class data and digital capabilities. With services increasingly shifting to digital platforms, it’s essential that community groups, particularly those representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples not further disadvantaged.

We are well placed in the APS through our Digital Service Standard to improve the way digital and First Nations People interact. In this RAP, we commit to consulting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and to ensure our workforce has Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees to reflect Australia’s diverse peoples.

Our previous RAPs have commenced the DTA’s reconciliation journey by taking practical actions to advance reconciliation. This Innovate RAP will expand on these actions by allowing the DTA to gain a deeper understanding of our sphere of influence and to establish the best approaches to advance reconciliation. This RAP aims to improve our connections with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, test ways to advance reconciliation goals, and to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
