QBCC news

The QBCC is committed to increasing staff awareness and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan strengthens our commitment to diversity and inclusion and deepens our understanding, respect, and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.

This is the first Reconciliation Action Plan for the QBCC and represents the first steps in our journey as an organisation towards reconciliation. As part of the plan, we have:

  • raised awareness amongst QBCC staff of our Reconciliation Action Plan commitments
  • educated staff on the meaning and significance behind Acknowledgement of Country and Welcome to Country protocols (including any local cultural protocols), as well as how they should be used
  • displayed Indigenous desk flag sets at each front counter across the state
  • updated the QBCC’s internal policy to enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
  • employees to take up to five days of paid Cultural Leave
  • included an Acknowledgement of Country on our website.

The QBCC is committed to promoting, supporting and encouraging respect, equity, diversity and inclusion across all aspects of our business.
