Our Reconcilation Action Plan
MTC’s newest Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) builds on everything we’ve learned since our first RAP began in 2018, and reflects our ongoing commitment to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in a meaningful and respectful way. As our organisation has grown, so have the relationships we’ve built across the communities we serve, helping us create programs that genuinely support education, employment and wellbeing. We proudly acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live and work, and we remain committed to truth‑telling, self‑determination and creating culturally safe spaces for our staff and participants.
Looking ahead to our 2026–28 RAP, we’re focused on increasing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation in our workforce, strengthening career pathways, and expanding our cultural capability, all while recognising the progress we’ve made and the important journey that still lies ahead.

About the artwork.
This artwork represents MTC FutureReady’s journey, our people, and the communities we support. We walk beside people for as long as they need, with a commitment to empathy, inclusion, and growth. Flowing pathways across the piece reflect the many journeys taken by clients, employees, and partners; connected through learning, achievement, and shared aspirations.
Each section of the artwork signifies different stages of the journey: the first steps of learning, growth that comes through opportunity, and the pride felt when goals are achieved. Pathways surrounding the artwork show that while everyone’s story is unique; by walking alongside we provide people with the support needed to create the future they choose.
Cultural elements throughout the artwork acknowledge our commitment to reconciliation and the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and perspectives. The interconnected designs highlight partnership and collaboration, recognising the strength that comes from listening deeply, celebrating culture, and building lasting connections across communities. Walking Together Towards Reconciliation.
