Program

The National RAP Conference 2024 program will focus on taking strong action to address barriers to advancing reconciliation, and on creating sustainable change. 

Now More Than Ever is the theme of the conference, which will include plenaries and breakout sessions with an array of engaging guest speakers. 

Sessions are built to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to advance reconciliation in your sphere of influence.

Economic Justice

Consider an Australian future where there is equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in pursuit of social, economic and political forms of self-determination.

Tackling the problem of racism

Racism is harmful and perpetuates inequalities. It must be addressed for our communities to move forward towards reconciliation. Now more than ever, RAP organisations need to recognise racism impacts Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and work to take firmer action to ensure a fundamental human right is met. All Australians deserve to live a life free of racism.
