Case Studies
WGA’s commitment to reconciliation is deeply embedded in our organisational culture, policies, and community engagement.
Through a series of impactful case studies, we demonstrate how respectful relationships, cultural understanding, and meaningful opportunities have shaped our journey. We’ve reviewed and enhanced our people policies to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, including the introduction of five days paid cultural leave and flexibility around public holidays. Our partnerships with cultural advisors and First Nations leaders have enriched our events, such as Welcome to Country ceremonies and cultural workshops across Australia. Engagements such as Supply Nation’s Connect 2024 and Black Coffee have strengthened our relationships with Indigenous businesses, resulting in over $200,000 in procurement. We’ve celebrated NAIDOC Week and National Reconciliation Week with storytelling, art, and education, fostering empathy and awareness. Our projects on Country and collaborations with Engineers Without Borders and the Waalitj Foundation have empowered communities and future leaders. From remote infrastructure upgrades to First Nations Engineering Drafting Traineeships, our actions reflect a genuine commitment to reconciliation. Each chapter includes an impact statement, highlighting how our initiatives have advanced cultural respect, built authentic relationships, and created opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
