Support services for Indigenous Australians
Mas National is deeply invested in improving employment and work opportunities for Indigenous Australians.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) provides a framework for organisations to support national reconciliation. For over 25 years, Mas has engaged with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to provide training and employment opportunities.
The RAP framework allows us to codify our contribution to reconciliation by:
- Building and encouraging relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities, organisations, and the broader Australian community
- Fostering and embedding respect for the world’s longest surviving cultures and communities
- Developing opportunities within our services to improve socio-economic outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities
Our journey towards reconciliation
Mas’ community works with Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), Group Training Organisations (GTOs) and industry groups to promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ participation in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system.
The Ngopaumuldi Aboriginal Corporation is one of the specialist organisations that Mas engages with to provide support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
We also invest in cultural awareness training for all staff members and have developed stakeholder engagement with organisations that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
The Mas community and RAP objectives
Mas National is proud to support the Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business’s reconciliation priorities, including:
- Halving the employment gap for Indigenous Australians.
- Fostering careers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees.
- Respectful and inclusive recruitment practices.
- Increasing business with Indigenous suppliers.
We are committed to helping marginalised community members find and maintain employment, addressing gaps in education and employment access.
