Closing the gap
Our vision for reconciliation is a journey of living, breathing and walking together to bridge the gap.
More than words
To build relationships, respect and opportunities we focus on engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, other not-for-profit organisations, Reconciliation Australia and our staff.
Key to our approach is translating good intentions to practical actions to make real change for the people who work with us, and communities we support.
We’re a proud supporter of the Family Matters campaign focused on reducing the over representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out of home care.
Reconciliation Action Plan
Our second Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) builds on our commitment to reconciliation as a key part of social change. Reconciliation is a journey of healing, essential for Australia to mature as a nation.
We believe by working together, we’re stronger, and we can achieve more than working alone.
Our RAP reinforces our commitment to reconciliation. It maps our path to support reconciliation over the next two years through building relationships, respect and opportunities.

First Nations Employment Strategy
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment Strategy (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Employment Strategy) is a direct deliverable of the organisation’s Reconciliation commitments detailed in its Innovate RAP (2023-2025).
This strategy delivers a framework of accountability in working to deliver an impactful and equitable employee experience for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at TBS, through activities focused on recruitment, retention, career development, and workplace culture.
The intention of TBS’s Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Employment Strategy is to build a high performing and sustainable cohort of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees in the areas of policy, programs, professional staff and senior leadership through a multi-faceted and coordinated approach. To achieve this TBS will invest in resources and strategies to attract, retain, support and develop Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander talent. This will be fortified by a workplace culture, which understands, values and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture.
