Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan

January 2026 - January 2028

AWA’s journey towards reconciliation began with the Reflect RAP, which was launched in June 2023. It provided us with a foundation to deepen engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and enabled us to build stronger relationships and understanding. Our Innovate RAP represents the next phase of this journey, where we intend to develop and strengthen these relationships, continue to embed Traditional Owner voices within our organisation, and promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Knowledge in the water sector.

To bring our RAP to life and help tell the story of our reconciliation journey, we engaged Amy Allerton a proud Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung woman and contemporary Aboriginal artist from Tamworth, NSW.

Allerton said her process and artwork is driven by her personal and professional vision that every story is given value and a voice, to revitalise communities, reconnect to culture and restore identities to build a stronger future.
