Reconciliation Action Plan
Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) demonstrates our commitment to closing the gap to ensure our first Australians are afforded the same opportunities for learning and prosperity that everyone enjoys in Australia.
Our journey to reconciliation
Since 2018, TAFE Queensland has been engaged with Reconciliation Australia, involving our staff, students and communities in our reconciliation journey as we reflect, discuss and strengthen our respect for First Nations peoples and cultural knowledges.
In 2025, we released our third Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) – a Stretch RAP.
Our first RAP set us on the path of discovery where we determined our vision for reconciliation and how we planned to achieve it. We built awareness and began developing our dialogue and future endeavours.
Our second RAP embraced our commitments to First Nations peoples and cultures by implementing and continuously improving our strategies and procedures to align with our organisational core values and strategic plan.
Our milestones have been significant, and now our Stretch RAP outlines meaningful actions that builds and extends on our commitments.
Our RAP vision
TAFE Queensland’s vision for reconciliation is to foster meaningful, sustainable relationships that recognise and respect the cultural heritage and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to creating a safe and inclusive educational environment that empowers First Nations communities, offering equitable access to contemporary, globally relevant training and education.
By prioritising the needs of our First Nations students and actively creating pathways for success, we will work together to create transformative opportunities for everyone, everywhere to shape their own futures. We are committed to innovation and excellence, ensuring our commitment to reconciliation is reflected in every aspect our work.
