Our Innovate RAP
Reconciliation Australia's CEO
Commencing an Innovate RAP is a crucial and rewarding period in an organisation’s reconciliation journey.
It is a time to build strong foundations and relationships, ensuring sustainable, thoughtful, and impactful RAP outcomes into the future.
Since 2006, RAPs have provided a framework for organisations to leverage their structures and diverse spheres of influence to support the national reconciliation movement.
This Innovate RAP is both an opportunity and an invitation for QA electrical to expand its understanding of its core strengths And deepen its relationship with its community, staff, and stakeholders.
By investigating and understanding the integral role it plays across its sphere of influence, QA electrical will create dynamic reconciliation outcomes, supported by and aligned with its business objectives.
An Innovate RAP is the time to strengthen and develop the connections that form the lifeblood of all RAP commitment. The RAP programs framework of relationships, respect and opportunities emphasises not only the importance of fostering consultation and collaboration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, but also empowering and enabling staff to contribute to this process as well.

Message from RAP Chairperson
In 2020, QA electrical stepped into the reconciliation learning space with Reconciliation Australia through the development and implementation of our inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
This initiative served as a pivotal educational tool for me, and numerous colleagues, enlightening us on the profound and varied historical, cultural and linguistic heritage of Australia’s First Nations peoples.
As an outcome of our REFLECT RAP, I have learnt that our history is far deeper and more complex than I knew.
It has also emphasised the vital role everyone can play in fostering a more inclusive future, grounded in a comprehensive appreciation and respect for cultural diversity.
I am excited and honoured to Chair our Working Group as we move into our INNOVATE RAP and strongly believe we as a company are heading in the right direction.

Malka Biyala – Shield Tree
Exert from our RAP Artwork Story
“Two sets of hands extend to one another with offerings of message sticks and shields carved from the scar tree.
The hands alone signify QA electrical’s willingness to work hard on the journey of Reconciliation together, they represent personal growth within each team member and their eagerness to learn truth telling. These message sticks symbolise the exchange of knowledge between the Aboriginal Community and QA electrical bridging the gap of Cultural divide in turn sharing awareness and experience of the electrical trade.”

Simone Thomson, Artist
Malka Biyala – Shield Tree
I am a Melbourne based Aboriginal artist and descendant of Victoria’s Wurundjeri and Yorta Yorta tribes through my mother, and I am Irish and Scottish through my father.
I draw inspiration for my art from the abundant textures and colours of this beautiful land along with the ancestral bonds I have to the Birrarung (Yarra River) and Dhungala (the Murray River).My people are river people, so I find that waterways often interweave into my art along with dreaming and creation stories of the sky.
