Supporting our first nations
Encouraging Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to obtain fulfilling jobs with leadership development and career progression is a priority for Royal Facilities.
3.8 per cent of our team members self-identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.
During the year, Royal Facilities continued to offer Indigenous employment programs to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates with the recruitment and onboarding process.
The Transition to Work Program aims to recruit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from highly disadvantaged backgrounds to transition into permanent and rewarding work at Royal Facilities.
We also aim to support Indigenous businesses and communities in three key areas:
- Direct and indirect procurement of goods and services.
- Supporting Indigenous customers
- Supporting all customers and suppliers with their commitment to reconciliation initiatives.
Additionally, we utilize Supply Nation to source new suppliers and subcontractors, broadening opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities within our company.
Royal Facilities is in the process of creating a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and endeavours to have this implemented by 2026. This further demonstrates our efforts to support our Indigenous community and our commitment to achieving a higher standard of diverse social procurement.
We continued to facilitate cultural awareness training for team members, which during the year was completed by the entire executive team, and all team leaders.
