Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) marks the beginning of a long-term journey of supporting legal and social justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
WLSQ is committed to the creation of a society in which every woman:
• Is safe from violence
• Is able to tell her story, have it heard and respected
• Receives a fair and just outcome from legal and social welfare systems
We acknowledge the resilience and agency of our clients, and all First Nations people. Their experiences and stories inform our work and continue to inspire us to pursue our mission.
Our RAP forms an important part of delivering on our values and our Strategy and identifies a number of key activities on our reconciliation journey including:
• Building on partnerships and developing new networks in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
• Further developing cultural safety and security training programs for staff
• Elevating and prioritising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices through formal consultation with the Board
Our RAP has the full support of our Board and Leadership Team. We will work with our clients, our team, our partners and stakeholders to implement our RAP and report on our progress.
This is the first step of many for WLSQ to contribute to a more just and equitable Australia.

WLSQ acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, particularly the Turrbul, Yuggera, Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi, Ugarapul peoples and the Yugambeh Language Region on whose lands our offices sit. We recognise their continuing connection to this Country, its waters, and culture. We acknowledge that their sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present, and we especially honour First Nations women and the traditions they carry.
