While having a plan to promote and advance reconciliation is important, its success can only be achieved through a focus on delivery and implementation.
The Attorney-General’s Department will be accountable for delivering the measures detailed in this RAP and reporting internally and externally on progress toward achieving its targets.
Implementation of this RAP will embed reconciliation into the core business of the department. It will be overseen by the senior executives, but will be the responsibility of all employees.
Where successfully implemented, this RAP will not only drive reconciliation, it will be an effective tool to improve justice outcomes for Aboriginal South Australians.
