Walking together with respect.

Our commitment to reconciliation

At Suncare, we’re committed to walking alongside First Nations peoples, listening with respect, and learning with humility.

Our vision for reconciliation is one of connection, cultural safety and shared understanding, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported. We aim to deliver services that are not only inclusive but shaped by strong voices from within community. That includes working closely with our First Nations employees, local Elders, and community leaders.

We’re also committed to making Suncare a culturally safe and inclusive place to work — where everyone can bring their whole self to the job and feel a true sense of belonging.

Our innovate Reconciliation Action Plan

Our Innovate RAP sets out practical steps to embed reconciliation into the everyday way we work, across our services, relationships, workforce, and operations.

It’s more than a document. It’s our roadmap to make reconciliation part of “business as usual”, with measurable actions and meaningful outcomes.

We know we have more to learn, and more to do. This RAP is just one part of our ongoing journey.

What we're focusing on

 

Building respectful relationships

We’re strengthening partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities by creating space for genuine, two-way dialogue, inside Suncare and across the regions we serve.

Respecting culture

We’re supporting our team to build cultural understanding and confidence, and creating opportunities to connect and learn through local Elders, ceremonies, and community events.

Creating opportunities

We’re focused on increasing recruitment, training, and procurement opportunities for First Nations peoples, supporting individuals, families, and communities to thrive.

Our RAP artwork - Our Caring Heart

This artwork tells the story of Suncare as a place where everyone belongs.

It reflects our caring heart alive for more than 50 years, and our commitment to listening, learning, and walking alongside First Nations peoples.
Each element represents connection:

  • to culture
  • to community,
  • and to one another

Together, they remind us that reconciliation is not a destination but a journey we take every day, with respect, understanding and genuine care.

The artwork concept and narrative were developed by David Williams.
David is a proud Wakka Wakka artist at Gilimbaa.

The story behind the artwork.

We partnered with Gilimbaa, a proudly Indigenous-owned creative agency, to create artwork that reflects our reconciliation journey.

The design represents listening, learning, and walking alongside community. It also symbolises the genuine care, connection and values that shape who we are at Suncare, and who we’re continuing to become.

This artwork is more than a visual, it’s a reminder of our shared responsibility and our ongoing commitment to reconciliation.

Your voice matters

We’re always listening and learning.

If you have feedback, ideas, or lived experience that can help us better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, we’d love to hear from you.

We know that reconciliation isn’t a destination, it’s a journey we walk together.

A culture for all Australians

We believe all Australians are enriched by the strength, history, and wisdom of the world’s oldest living cultures.

That’s why we’re committed to acknowledging, celebrating and helping preserve the diverse languages, identities and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, now and into the future.
