Reconciliation Action Plan
Oxford University Press Australia and New Zealand is embarking on a significant journey by implementing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). This initiative is a testament to our commitment to fostering a culture that values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Acknowledgement of Country
Oxford University Press acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the many lands on which we create and share our learning resources. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners as the original storytellers, teachers and students of this land we call Australia. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present, for the ways in which they have enabled the teachings of their rich cultures and knowledge systems to be shared for millennia.
Our Vision
OUPANZ’s vision for reconciliation is for First Nations peoples, histories, cultures, knowledge, learnings and stories to be respected and celebrated. We understand that learning can change lives, and that is why we are deeply committed to use our position as an educational publisher to amplify the voices, experiences and knowledge of First Nations peoples. Knowledge and learning underpin the progress we make, as individuals and as a society.
Our RAP
Creating a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is part of OUPANZ’s formal commitment and contribution towards reconciliation. The RAP framework allows our business to take meaningful steps and action.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are core to OUPANZ’s values and mission. We envision our RAP to be embedded into everything we do, across all policies, procedures and publications. We recognise the need for a shift in our approach in order to make reconciliation imperative for business and a critical aspect of our culture.
