PwC Australia supports reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and all Australians. For many years we have proudly supported the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. We remain committed to creating impact for First Nations peoples.
One of the ways we have shown this commitment has been through our Reconciliation Action Plan. Our previous Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which concluded in December 2023, was a multi-year commitment focused on increasing economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through employment and procurement initiatives, developing our own cultural fitness, and collaborating on issues of importance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, in particular homelessness.
We are currently closing out our previous RAP commitments and preparing an end of Elevate RAP final report which will outline our progress against each commitment and highlight case studies that we are proud of. We will publish the final report publicly when it’s complete.
As we reflect on learnings to date and baseline our capability, we look to the future to identify initiatives and actions that will have impact for First Nations peoples and align with our business and firm strategy as we work towards another RAP.
Our ambition is to support empowerment and self-determination for First Nations peoples and communities including helping to catalyse the emerging Indigenous economy, by assisting clients and communities to come together to design and deliver better outcomes.
In partnership with Traditional Custodians and local community organisations, we continue to provide opportunities for our people to participate in Cultural Immersion activities. Delivered locally in each office location these immersive experiences enhance our people’s connections with the community and Country in which we work and live.
The PwC & Murra Boost Initiative
The PwC & Murra Boost Initiative is a partnership between PwC and the Murra Alumni of the Melbourne Business School, whereby we provide $30,000 in skills and expertise to support a winning Indigenous Business to support a specific issue that will allow for future growth.
Acknowledging the importance and impact of connection, for this year only, Indigenous Business Month co-founders are not facilitating the national Indigenous Business Month awards competition. Instead, individuals and communities across the country are encouraged to award exposure to their local Indigenous businesses and experience the collective sense of pride that is generated when we gather, together.
To this effect, the Murra Boost Initiative is postponed until further notice.
