'Together, Connected to Culture' artwork by David Williams of Gilimbaa.

At APRA, our goals go beyond ensuring Australia’s financial system is protected today and prepared for tomorrow.

Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia where First Nations peoples experience financial equality and equity in finance, too.

That’s why we’re enriching and deepening our understanding of First Nations people, communities, and organisations all over Australia. It’s why wherever our journey takes us, we are committed to advancing reconciliation among our people, in our spaces, and in our communities.

As we look to the future, we will inspire curiosity and start conversations that share and celebrate First Nations culture within our teams and with everyone we meet. And we will work together to build connections to culture by listening to and learning from First Nations people, communities, and organisations wherever we go.
