PILBARA Ports has launched its inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan, marking the organisation’s commitment to building stronger and enduring relationships with First Nations people.
Launched at a stakeholder event in Port Hedland that brought together directors, employees, Traditional Custodians and community members, the Reflect RAP provides a clear framework to guide reconciliation initiatives in the workplace and across port communities.
Pilbara Ports CEO Samuel McSkimming said the Reflect RAP was an important step on the company’s reconciliation journey. “Our Reflect RAP is an opportunity for us to listen, learn and take meaningful steps towards reconciliation in our workplace.
“This plan ensures reconciliation is embedded at the heart of Pilbara Ports operations – through our people, partnerships and shared respect for the communities we serve,” Mr McSkimming added.
The plan outlines practical initiatives including increasing first nations employment opportunities, partnering with First Nations businesses – including minimum procurement guidelines – celebrating culture and heritage, and embedding cultural understanding across the organisation.
Expiring in December 2026, the inaugural RAP contributes action towards five dimensions of reconciliation: race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity and historical acceptance.
