Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders at Western Power

At Western Power, the Diversity and Inclusion strategy enables macro and micro cultural advancement, through delivering strategic objectives that positively impact the attraction, development, engagement and retention of a rich, diverse workforce that celebrates individual differences.

Western Power operates on Noongar, Amangu and Wangkatha Country, in the towns and stunning landscapes of South West WA. 

It’s important for us to recognise the rich history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. That is, to celebrate achievements but also to recognise the past and the challenges faced so far. 

Acknowledging the past is an important part of moving forward and part of the healing process of reconciliation. On the shoulders of our first RAP (Reflect)- Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan 2018 (westernpower.com.au), we are soon to launch our Innovate RAP, which provides tangible actions to strengthen relationships with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, suppliers and customers, helping us to bring about meaningful change to our community. (Innovate RAP available March 2022).

The Innovate RAP sets the future direction of how Western Power and all our people can continue to make a positive difference in a authentic, transparent and practical way.

Expanding on the successes achieved in our Reflect RAP, we’ve set ourselves ambitious targets to build capability and competence within the business as well as supporting local suppliers and our community. 

Everyone in the business has a role to play in our reconciliation journey, and this RAP includes actions to ensure we remain culturally aware and respectful in the way we operate. 

It’s important that we develop our local connections and create a safe and open environment to learn and grow for everyone.

We are committed to building significant and long-standing partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations. 

We are proud to have forged strong relationships with several Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations including.
