Reconciliation
Our Reconciliation Vision
INTREC’s vision for reconciliation is a united Australia which values the heritage and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, celebrates their achievements and contributions. We are committed to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, businesses and communities to create sustainable pathways for employment, training and skills development.
We want our workplace to reflect the diversity of the communities we work in, and we will play our part to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have the same opportunity to enjoy a prosperous and safe future as the broader population. Currently, we are working with Reconciliation Australia to finalise our next Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
First Nations Ambassador / Advisor
Since 2021, INTREC have engaged Greg Davison as our First Nations Ambassador / Advisor as part of the RAP initiative. Greg is a descendent of the Wiradjuri people from Cowra’s Erambie Mission which is located in the Central West region of NSW. He works closely with our RAP Working Group and the wider team to provide an authentic First Nations perspective, providing advice on effective Aboriginal community engagement and consultations methods as well as provide transformative Aboriginal cultural awareness.
Greg is experienced in leading teams and non-profit organisations, conducting strategic planning and organisational development improvements. Greg has been a key part of the development of our Innovate RAP.
Annual Bennelong Cup
In recent years, INTREC was a proud gold sponsor of the Bennelong Cup. This event was established in 2018 by Bennelong Energy Services (BES) directors Gaven Sheehan and Cliff Lyons. The day provides networking opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander school leavers, partnering with organisations such as the NRL’s School to Work program, the Waratah Project, and Souths Cares.
Our team participated in the touch football competition and the formalities post the activities, meeting representatives from these valuable organisations and establishing relationships with these key stakeholders. This annual event is an amazing way to provide support and employment opportunities to Indigenous students transitioning from school to work and we are excited to continue our involvement in this event in the future.
Supply Nation
INTREC’s active involvement with Supply Nation‘s Member Opportunity Board (MOB) enhances our commitment to diversity within the workforce and procurement processes.
At INTREC, we are committed to supplier diversity and ensuring we are delivering practices that create and extend opportunities to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander owned businesses and enterprises. This has been implemented through our active use of Supply Nation’s Member of Opportunity Board.
