Reconciliation

Clayton Utz recognises the challenges and disadvantage which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have faced and continue to face in the Australian community. In particular we recognise that the gap in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is unacceptable.

Over the years, we have provided support to Indigenous Australians in different ways as part of our Community Connect program and Pro Bono practice. We work with and act for Indigenous Australians who are building strong and proud communities in our cities and across regional and remote Australia.

And there is much more that we can do.

We have now taken the step by developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) which formalises our commitment to reducing inequality between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, and which contains targets that we will hold ourselves to meeting. Our RAP - which was officially launched at a special function in our Sydney office on 9 March - is registered with Reconciliation Australia and can be viewed on their website.
