Reconciliation Action Plan

As the largest Australian IT services and solutions company, we have an increasing responsibility to contribute to the communities in which we live.

In 2022, Data^#3 formed a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Working Group, consisting of employees who are passionate about reconciliation and committed to developing, implementing and reporting on Data^#3’s RAP.

I am proud to present our first milestone achievement – our Reflect RAP, which details Data^#3’s vision and direction for reconciliation. This is the first stage of the RAP framework, where we aim to ensure that our continued growth has planned and targeted commitments to achieve our role in the reconciliation with Australia’s First Nations peoples.

Based around the core pillars of relationships, respect, opportunities and governance, Data^#3’s RAP provides benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Our RAP is not a static document, but an ongoing commitment that will evolve and grow as we learn and progress on our reconciliation journey. It is also a shared responsibility that requires the active participation and collaboration of everyone in our organisation.

We look forward to continuing our work with Reconciliation Australia. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and for our entire nation.

This artwork symbolises the community within the company and the existence of the modern world with its technologies that juxtapose the ancient culture and Land with which they operate on. The two worlds that coexist at Data^#3. It’s a piece that celebrates First Nation people and culture and that recognises that this always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
