At ANZ, our commitment to First Nations employment is a key focus of our Reconciliation Action Plan since it was first established in 2007. Since then, we continue to invest to increase social and economic participation, building a culturally professional and safe environment for our business, people and communities.
**RAP Highlights**:
**Evolution of Ngarga Wangaddja**: Ngarga Wangaddja, meaning ‘mob talking’ in the language of the Narungga People, is ANZ’s First Nations Employee Reference Group. The group, consisting of members from across the country advises ANZ’s Reconciliation Action Plan governance committees and consults on matters pertaining to the First Nations employee experience.
Appointment of Shelley Cable, Head of First Nations Strategy, Australia: A First Nations Strategy will accelerate ANZ’s purpose, to shape a world where people and communities thrive. ANZ’s interactions with First Nations touch all corners of the bank, and this Strategy is a means to transform and enhance ANZ’s relationship with First Nations.
**Updating our cultural leave policies**: We have extended our bereavement (also known as compassionate) leave, cultural leave and extending the definition of ‘immediate family’ to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kinship roles. We also give employees choice in relation to observing the 26 January public holiday. Employees are able to opt to work on 26 January and select an alternative day as a substitute public holiday.
