Message from the Queensland GovernmentHumanity, equality and destiny – values that unite 70 nations competing in the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018).It is these same values that call each of us to participate in the journey of reconciliation with Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.This Reconciliation Action Plan – a first in Commonwealth Games history – will help guide our efforts to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander values, culture and heritage and advance outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.Beyond Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation in the Games, this plan is about creating a lasting legacy through employment and training opportunities, promoting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and culture and supporting healthy and active lifestyles.We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners along with the Yugambeh Elders Advisory Group and Gold Coast Indigenous Working Group who have helped develop this plan.Their contribution will ensure the Games nurtures a rich and powerful sense of community pride and ownership throughout Queensland and particularly in our event cities of the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns.The Reconciliation Action Plan is our commitment to delivering genuine and meaningful outcomes for Queensland’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Message from the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games CorporationThere are few things more powerful in this country than the collective experience, traditions and insights that have been embodied in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures over hundreds of generations.They reach out across the expanses of time to the current generation to teach us about kinship, spirit, identity, environment and Country.By listening to and sharing those experiences, there is much we can all learn and understand in moving forward.And that is why the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is so important.In a nationwide first for Australian events, it will build upon these learnings to deliver lasting and tangible outcomes for all.It forms a genuine connection with local Traditional Custodians, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Queensland, to encourage and bring about respectful engagement with the 70 Commonwealth nations and territories which will participate in the 2018 Games, including those that have Indigenous peoples of their country.The RAP outlines objectives across such areas as employment, procurement, volunteering and embedding culture within GC2018.It also focuses on enabling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts, cultural and other businesses to further develop from the Games initiatives.Many representatives from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community have generously donated their time and knowledge to its development with the ambition of respectfully recognising and celebrating the extensive First Australians heritage and cultures of the Gold Coast, Queensland and Australia.Their efforts have created a great and enduring legacy for this state and for future major events in this country.And together we are providing a Commonwealth- first benchmark for future host nations to show leadership towards greater cultural understanding within their own communities.As a long-term legacy of GC2018, there are few that will hold greater importance and have a more authentic role in the bringing together of the First Australians and other citizens of this country and the peoples of the world.The Honourable Peter Beattie AC, Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games

Message from Reconciliation AustraliaReconciliation Australia congratulates the Queensland Government on its exceptional commitment to reconciliation in Australia through the implementation of an Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).From 4 to 15 April 2018, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) will act as a watershed moment in Australia’s sporting history, seeing the first RAP enacted for major sporting events in Australia, and the first such plan in Commonwealth Games history.These efforts will have a local and global impact, with athletes, team officials and visitors coming from across the globe, and the Games being broadcast to a global audience of 1.5 billion people.This presents an extraordinary opportunity to showcase the cultures, histories and achievements of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.To achieve this, Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) and Office of the Commonwealth Games (OCG) has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to respectful engagement with local stakeholders. Throughout this process, staff have developed and strengthened key relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians through Games Partners, the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), Queensland Government agencies, Indigenous councils, event cities, schools and key stakeholders.Respectful relationships like these are fundamental to reconciliation, of which knowledge and pride in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures are critical.The Queensland Government’s commitment to reconciliation and continued learning is demonstrated in the endorsement of Reconciliation Australia’s Narragunnawali: Reconciliation in Schools and Early Learning program as the primary education tool for schools and early learning centres in the reconciliation space.Further to these efforts, the Queensland Government is moving to advance reconciliation through the undertaking of culturally appropriate and inclusive measures, including cultural workshops, training and awareness programs for their staff.Far beyond these 11 days of competition, these RAP efforts will leave a lasting legacy – a legacy of the stories, histories, and cultures of Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples - for the Gold Coast community, Queensland, Australia and for the Commonwealth. With respect, knowledge and opportunities at its core, these reconciliation actions will set new standards, both unprecedented in scope and vision, for future engagement by host countries with respect to First Nations Peoples.On behalf of Reconciliation Australia, we congratulate the Queensland Government on this extraordinary achievement, and look forward to following its continued reconciliation journey.Justin Mohamed, Reconciliation Australia Chief Executive Officer

GC2018 journey towards reconciliationThe journey towards GC2018 requires the efforts of numerous agencies, human resources, businesses, governments and key stakeholders to work collaboratively to successfully deliver a great Games for the Gold Coast and the Commonwealth.The development of a RAP was identified as a meaningful opportunity to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation within GC2018 event planning and delivery.From 2015, this RAP has involved: the GOLDOC Yugambeh Elders Advisory and Indigenous Working Groups who have endorsed the intent to develop a RAP for the Games, coordinating existing Games activities to embed opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, identifying new activities that can be leveraged from the event and identifying complementary opportunities to enhance economic and social outcomes through collaborative partnerships.This RAP is the result of a commitment from Games Partners to deliver legacy outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and has been led by the Queensland Government through the OCG and GOLDOC.As the first of its kind for a major event and for a Commonwealth Games, this RAP provides a unique opportunity to educate and promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander awareness to a large and diverse group of stakeholders who will experience GC2018. It also provides a guiding framework for other Commonwealth Games host nations to show leadership towards reconciliation with their First Peoples. GC2018 will celebrate and share the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples whilst respecting traditions and providing inclusive opportunities. The GC2018 RAP outlines objectives across areas such as employment, procurement, cuisine, language and cultural awareness.This RAP has been developed to:

recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and respect the Traditional Custodians of the cities of Gold Coast, Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville where GC2018 events will be held

The legacy of the GC2018 RAPOnce the competition is over, the success of GC2018 will be determined by the long term legacy the event has delivered. This RAP is the culmination of a range of actions identified by GOLDOC and OCG with the support of Games Partners and other Government agencies.Through this approach, this RAP will ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are provided with meaningful opportunities to participate in GC2018, extending beyond the traditional inclusion of culture within the Opening Ceremonies, and contributing towards a positive lasting legacy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Government coordinationOffice of Commonwealth Games, Department of Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games.The GC2018 RAP Implementation Team was established by the Office of the Commonwealth Games as a formal working party in September 2015, to consult with government agencies engaged in GC2018 activities, and other agencies that can support the development and delivery of complementary initiatives as part of the RAP.The GC2018 RAP Implementation Team is comprised of the following stakeholders:

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Programs Team, OCG, DTESB Arts Queensland (AQ) City of Gold Coast (CoGC) Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships (DATSIP) Department of Education and Training (DET) Department of National Parks Sport and Racing (NPSR) Department of State Development (DSD) Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) Office for Sport, Federal Government (OFS DOH) Queensland Health (QH) Queensland Police Service (QPS) State Library of Queensland Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ)

In addition to the GC2018 RAP Implementation Team, OCG has coordinated local governments’ responses across Gold Coast, Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville and approached all Queensland Government departments to identify actions to support the GC2018 RAP.The intention to coordinate the Government’s contribution is to:

identify complementary funding and support programs that can enhance the success of outcomes delivered by GOLDOC;

identify existing GC2018 programs that will be delivered as part of the event to embed economic and social outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;

identify new programs or opportunities that could be leveraged of GC2018; and

11

Page 13: The artwork story - 2018 Commonwealth Games Web viewAunty Mary Graham. Elder Patricia O’Connor. Uncle Ted Williams. Aunty Joyce Summers. ... Promote OCG’s Word of the Week campaign

identify programs and opportunities for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

Queenslanders to be included and/or engaged in GC2018.

The Embracing 2018 RAP Implementation Team has a Terms of Reference created to provide a structured guideline to set out roles and responsibilities that will enable the ongoing monitoring and accountability to driving activities as they relate to their area of commitment. As planning progresses towards GC2018 new agencies will be invited to participate to align with the key priorities.

State wide engagementOCG is also responsible for leading community engagement across Queensland with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to raise awareness of our RAP, identify legacy opportunities and to encourage participation in GC2018 activities.To support our engagement with the community OCG have developed an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement Plan to effectively engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and stakeholders. OCG has engaged with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander networks located in:

Cairns Townsville Mackay Rockhampton Sunshine Coast Caboolture Inala Ipswich Brisbane Logan Redlands Gold Coast

OCG will continue to engage with Queensland’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to update them on progress towards GC2018 and the implementation of the RAP.

GOLDOC engagement and RAP coordinationGOLDOC commenced the community engagement process on the Gold Coast in early 2015 by seeking advice from local Traditional Custodians on its intention to develop a RAP for GC2018. This led to the establishment of GOLDOC’s Yugambeh Elders Advisory Group (YEAG), which endorsed GOLDOC’s development of a RAP for GC2018. Under the guidance of the YEAG, an Indigenous Working Group (IWG) was formed to drive the development of the GC2018 RAP as it relates to the Gold Coast region.The YEAG and supporting IWG includes representation from Traditional Custodians, Community Elders, Games Partners and local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Service Providers.The YEAG meet at least three times per year to guide and advise the development and delivery of cultural related activities. The IWG meet bi-monthly
