To mark International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we’re sharing the story behind our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) artwork, “First Voices, Shared Futures”, by Aboriginal artist Amy Allerton, a proud Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung woman from Tamworth, NSW.

The artwork reflects Amy’s cultural heritage and promotes understanding among communities. It represents a future where every voice is equally valued and respected, reflecting our ongoing commitment to listening, learning and building stronger relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
