Queensland Government Reconciliation Action Plan

The Queensland Government recognises that:

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and individual cultures are unique
  • colonisation has left an enduring legacy of economic and social disadvantage that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to experience
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have continuing cultural rights and responsibilities as the First Peoples of Queensland
  • regional and place-based approaches are required to address the different needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

To achieve reconciliation, it is essential that all Queensland Government departments, agencies, statutory authorities, local governments, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to work together in partnership and to share responsibilities.

Relevant published resources are found on the Publications portal.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
