UQ Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Creating a fair, equal and inclusive society.

Our vision for reconciliation

The University of Queensland’s (UQ) vision for reconciliation is a fair, equal and inclusive society in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous people unite to create a better future.

We’re committed to recognising, strengthening and expanding the presence of Indigenous students and staff in a community where their customs, knowledge and traditions are integral to our work. Furthermore, we’re steadfast in our ambitions to embed a culture of celebration, support, inclusivity and respect into UQ’s core values.

We've only begun our reconciliation journey and must continue to walk together to propel UQ toward its goals. Our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) isn't just a blueprint – it's a steadfast commitment by UQ to building a united, respectful community.
