Reconciliation Action Plan
The Salvation Army acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters throughout Australia.
We pay our respect to Elders and acknowledge their continuing relationship to this land and the ongoing living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia. We also acknowledge future aspirations of all First Nations peoples.
Through respectful relationships we will work for the mutual flourishing of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
We commit ourselves in prayer and practice to this land of Australia and its people, seeking reconciliation, unity and equity.
The Salvation Army has recently launched a Reconciliation Action Plan or RAP for short to show what we at The Salvation Army are doing to journey together with First Nations Australians. Please Click here to a link for further infomation.
