With NAIDOC Week currently running until Sunday, 13 July 2025, Arc Infrastructure took the opportunity to reflect on achievements in progressing reconciliation in Western Australia.
- Promoted, attended, participated in and hosted events for National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week
- Formed an Arc Infrastructure Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group (RWG)
- Begun the development of a two-year Innovate RAP for implementing change and outlining actions for achieving Arc Infrastructure’s vision for reconciliation
- Rolled-out Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Awareness online learning module to improve equality, unity and historical acceptance with reconciliation truth telling
- Continued relationships with Aboriginal businesses onboarded through our Procurement team
- Had several Arc employees attend training by the Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (ETNTAC) as part of Arc’s commitment to minimising our impact on, protect and enhance the environment in which we operate
- Entered the second year of our three-year Principal Partnership with the Waalitj Foundation. Arc provided $100,000 to cover the cost of a full-time Indigenous Employment Mentor in the Kalgoorlie Waalitj Foundation Aboriginal pre-employment program for 2025, which will include the provision of a work vehicle and laptop.
General Manager Works Delivery Daniel Ellis thanked the whole business for the progress and positive outcomes seen through Arc’s Aboriginal Engagement and Reconciliation Action Plan.
“A tremendous amount of work has gone into supporting Arc’s reconciliation journey,” Dan said.
“While we appreciate the significance of NAIDOC Week and thank those who attended the Boorloo (Perth) NAIDOC Week Lunch today, Bravo Pipi Weaving Workshop and various external activities and events held across the regions this month, I recognise our people have demonstrated their commitment to reconciliation year-round.
“Our work in reconciliation is essential to Arc’s institutional integrity. As the manager of the freight rail network in Western Australia, we recognise our responsibility in progressing reconciliation in our State.”
