Inclusion & Diversity

Our Reconciliation Journey

The Webuild Group in Australia is committed to working with one another, and our communities to achieve a common vision for reconciliation

Webuild acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and live, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and their continued care for this land.

Our first Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was launched in 2020, and over this time, the Group has embedded more than 117 actions and initiatives to drive positive change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples by delivering employment, education, and business opportunities and providing our workforce with experiences to reflect on and immerse themselves in the world’s oldest continuing living cultures.

Our vision 

Our vision for reconciliation is to enable equal participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples across the nation-building projects we deliver. We will achieve this by delivering meaningful opportunities and pathways to employment, enhancing supplier diversity, and fostering a workforce and environment that embraces, respects, and celebrates the diverse cultures of First Nations Peoples.

Community partnerships  

We’ve partnered with four organisations to improve outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. We work closely with the Clontarf Foundation, Stars Foundation, and Starlight Children’s Foundation’s Healthier Futures Initiative, additionally we are a proud partner of Supply Nation. 

 

SSTOM Project Engagement   

On the Stations, Systems, Trains, Operations and Maintenance (SSTOM) works project for Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport, the team has engaged with 22 Aboriginal businesses, awarding 40 contracts to those Aboriginal businesses, achieving 50% of the project’s Aboriginal business engagement target with just 24% of the project complete. This is a significant accomplishment towards reaching the project’s overall Aboriginal engagement commitments. 

 

Meet the artist behind our RAP artwork  

Leah Cummins is a proud Mayi woman from North-West Queensland - Mayi-Kulan from her father and Kalkadoon from her mother. 

I find inspiration in my cultural identity and bring my stories of my Country and people to life in my art. I paint of stories of strength for women and children, love of the land and all my people. I pay respect to the ancestors who give me these stories in my creativity, to share my culture that transcends words and draws people into wanting to learn about First Nations people. I hope to inspire and uplift my people by contributing to the sharing of culture and stories through my art.”
