The West Australian Football Commission officially launched its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) on Thursday, August 31 to set a clear vision for building stronger relationships with Aboriginal people and communities across WA.
WAFC CEO Gavin Taylor said the WAFC’s vision for reconciliation was an inclusive football industry built on acceptance and understanding, where all people work together to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal people and strengthen relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.
“The WAFC has witnessed firsthand the positive impact football has on the Aboriginal community. This impact extends beyond the playing field to include families, friends and the community as a whole,” he said.
“Football has the capacity to educate, improve health, develop leadership and provide a stepping stone to employment. This is reflected in our vision to connect and enhance WA communities through our great game.
“This includes creating a united community and a football environment that is inclusive of all Australians, particularly the custodians of the land we play on, the Aboriginal people.
