A Stretch RAP is best suited to organisations that have developed strategies and established a very strong approach towards advancing reconciliation internally and within the organisation’s sphere of influence

The Stretch RAP requires organisations to embed reconciliation initiatives into business strategies to become ‘business as usual’.

Assist organisations with the Stretch RAP process which may: 

  • Be confident in their tried and tested approach to embedding reconciliation within their organisation.
  • Have tailored additional commitments to their business activities, services, programs, stakeholders and/or sphere of influence.
  • Are ready to expand on their efforts through specific and measurable longer-term commitments with outcomes focus. 
  • Commit to robust reporting requirements. 
  • Are willing to collaborate with other RAP organisations to advance reconciliation.

  • Continuous improvement of engagement, cultural learning, employment and procurement strategies 
  • Engage external stakeholders in reconciliation

Walya is a deeply authentic and personal account of how the poverty cycle drives Indigenous inequity – health and wellbeing, social, educational. Through the lens of his own family, Damien explains how this cycle needs to be clearly understood and addressed. Over decades of practice in the Northern Territory I have witnessed many healthcare workers come and go, and it appeared to me that most focused on the biomedical model and all to often missed the point – if you’re too poor to eat, you won’t value tablets to lower your cholesterol or treat your sugars. Walya is an very impressive articulation of the roots of this problem, a must for anyone wishing to embark on meaningful Indigenous health practice.

I highly recommend Walya productions Course 1 Cultural Awareness and Course 2 Community Equity. Course 1 paces the learner through the incredible ingenuity and core concepts of a rich, thriving and sophisticated Aboriginal culture, especially brought to life by sharing Damien's own family history experience. I've done other courses and stepped away from these with new knowledge and and significant awakenings. I would highly recommend these courses. The second course is particularly relevant for understanding health care concepts and how external factors perpetuating the poverty cycle and sociopolitical structures of racism has created a phenomenon which started 235 years ago and was not part of aboriginal culture or lived experience prior to British colonisation. The second course builds from course 1 but also stands alone. A Brilliantly thoughtful course!

I want to extend my sincere appreciation for the immense value your courses have offered. I thoroughly enjoyed participating in them and I must say that I learned a lot. The concepts were well-articulated, thoughtful, and provided an enriching experience.
