UNICEF Australia’s Post

NAIDOC Week commemorates the rich history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. BG&E stands among over 1,100 organisations committed to reconciliation through the RAP program, a framework supporting the national reconciliation movement since 2006. Through our Reflect RAP, BG&E deepens its understanding and actively contributes to the five dimensions of reconciliation: race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity, and historical acceptance. By engaging in NAIDOC Week activities like cultural events and initiatives showcasing Indigenous art, BG&E honours First Nations people's heritage and fosters greater cultural understanding within our workplace and the broader community. This commitment lays a robust foundation for future RAPs and reconciliation efforts, playing a pivotal role in advancing Australia's reconciliation journey.

𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐤, 𝐋𝐨𝐮𝐝 & 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 This week marks National NAIDOC Week, a time for all Australians to come together and celebrate the rich history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year’s theme, "Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud," encourages us to honour the strength and resilience of First Nations communities. NAIDOC Week is more than just a celebration; it’s an opportunity to learn, support, and engage with the oldest continuous living cultures on earth. Leading organisations across Australia are embracing the importance of reconciliation and taking concrete actions to support First Nations Peoples. Promoting cultural safety is paramount among organisations across Australia. This includes cultural awareness training, incorporating Indigenous cultural elements in workplaces, and acknowledging Indigenous kinship in policies. Many organisations also celebrate significant cultural events and display Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags alongside the Australian flag. As we celebrate NAIDOC Week, let’s continue our commitment to understanding and supporting the careers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Together, we can create more inclusive workplaces and foster stronger relationships with First Nations communities. #NAIDOC2024 #KeepTheFireBurning #BlakLoudProud #Reconciliation #FirstNations #CulturalAwareness #Inclusion #Diversity

Real commitment to reconciliation and inclusion is demonstrated through consistent, meaningful actions that drive positive change. It’s about integrating these values into everyday practices and decisions, ensuring that the respect and recognition of First Nations communities are woven into the fabric of our organisations and society. Leadership is about more than just words—it’s about taking concrete steps to support better education, employment, housing, and health outcomes for First Nations people. It’s about listening, learning, and actively working towards a more inclusive and equitable future. As our RAP consultant, Dixie Crawford from Nganya, wisely says, "As a leader, it is not what you say during NAIDOC Week but what you do next week that tells us all who you really are." We want to encourage our colleagues, customers and partners to really think about these words to champion reconciliation, change, and celebrate First Nations communities every day. At Bunzl, we are committed to these principles and strive to embody them in all that we do. Join us in making a lasting impact and supporting First Nations communities beyond NAIDOC Week. #NAIDOCWeek #Reconciliation #FirstNations #Leadership #Inclusion #PositiveChange #Bunzl #Nganya #EverydayCommitment #BetterFuture

As Australia celebrates NAIDOC week this week, it is worth appreciating the rich history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and also an opportunity to learn about one of the oldest continuous living cultures on Earth 🌍. 💎 New Governance Requirements for Indigenous Data: Recently, Australian Public Service agencies adopted the Framework for Governance of Indigenous Data. Co-designed with Indigenous partners, this framework ensures better access to government-held Indigenous data for First Nations Australians. It emphasizes collaboration, capability-building, and an inclusive data system. 💎 These governance requirements aim to contribute directly to ‘closing the gap’ by enhancing data accessibility, quality management and ethical use of indigenous data, and promoting inclusivity via ensured respectful collaboration and decision making for uplifting these communities. Let’s honor NAIDOC Week by championing Indigenous cultures, supporting data sovereignty, and working together to close the gap. 🙌🏽 #NAIDOCWeek #IndigenousData #ClosingTheGap

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme “Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud, and Proud,” embodies the resilience and wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. It’s a powerful reminder to cherish and amplify Indigenous knowledge. Skills and education are key to social inclusion and empowering people to thrive. In our rapidly changing world, school education is no longer enough. With the new targets for participation in post-secondary education, we have an opportunity to address the systemic challenges and inequitable access—be it to education, training, or other recognised forms of capability and skill development. To ensure that every individual has access to lifelong learning opportunities is crucial for fostering an inclusive society.
