First Nations Peoples

Reconciliation Action Plans

We acknowledge that First Nations Peoples face unique challenges engaging with their super, and the super system more broadly. We aim to provide great retirement outcomes for all members, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members.

In 2020, UniSuper launched its first ‘Reflect’ Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). A RAP is a formal plan that documents our commitment to implementing practical actions that are respectful of First Nations Peoples. This guides initiatives that better educate our employees and increase engagement within the First Nations community. The RAP helped UniSuper start our reconciliation journey and set out actions to increase awareness and respect for First Nations Peoples within our organisation.

Then, in 2022, we launched our ‘Innovate’ RAP to build on those actions and focus on the opportunities to empower and strengthen relationships with First Nations Peoples and engage our employees and stakeholders in reconciliation. This RAP, completed in April 2024, involved actively working to develop relationships with Indigenous organisations and First Nations representatives in our university communities. It also involved building awareness internally (e.g. through National Reconciliation Week and during NAIDOC Week), and enhanced our procurement and recruitment processes (e.g. we became a member of Supply Nation). With our Innovate RAP now complete, UniSuper is currently considering the most effective approach to be taken in relation to our future reconciliation efforts.
