State Govt - Evaluating Innovate RAP and Strengthening Aboriginal Engagement - Statewide, WA

Client: Forest Products Commission

Timeline: April 2023 - February 2024

Wander partnered with the Forest Products Commission to review its Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, assessing the existing framework, evaluating progress and engaging with RAP members and executive leaders. A detailed findings report was delivered, providing recommendations to shape the next RAP and strengthen the organisation’s long-term reconciliation commitments.

Building on this review, Wander facilitated RAP Working Group sessions that brought together staff from across the organisation, including executive leaders, managers and team members, to co-design priorities and pathways for the next phase of action. Following these sessions, we supported the establishment of an Aboriginal Engagement Leadership Committee by preparing terms of reference, providing facilitation and helping create an internal structure to strengthen Aboriginal engagement across the organisation.

As a result, the Forest Products Commission gained clarity on its reconciliation progress, made informed decisions about the next iteration of its RAP and introduced a practical mechanism to ensure reconciliation efforts are championed consistently across the organisation. This project demonstrates Wander’s ability to combine strategic review with facilitation and organisational design, helping organisations embed Aboriginal engagement in meaningful, sustainable ways.
