Reconciliation vs ReconciliACTION

What they say

Reconciliation

194 organisations have published a Reconciliation Action Plan. On paper, every single one reads beautifully.

“…cultures, knowledge and histories of Indigenous Australians are accessible, understood and appreciated by all Australians.”Google — their RAP

“…truth-telling, self-determination and cultural safety at the centre of our approach.”KPMG — their RAP

WORDS, ON THE RECORD SINCE LAUNCH DAY

What they do

Reconciliaction

ReconciliACTION Scores measure how well companies actually support Indigenous communities — tangible actions, not symbolic gestures. Words don’t move the needle. Delivery does.

EXHIBIT 01 — Reconciliation vs ReconciliACTION

ReconciliACTION Scores evaluate the effectiveness of corporate Reconciliation Action Plans: how well companies integrate with and support Indigenous communities through tangible actions rather than symbolic gestures. The words above the line are free. Everything below the line is evidence.

Why the scores matter

Accountability

Ensuring companies follow through on their RAP commitments — not just their RAP launches.

Transparency

Clear, accessible information on what corporates actually did, in one public table anyone can check.

Impact

Highlighting effective practice — and naming the areas that need real improvement.

How we mark it

Four components, one score out of five. The left of each card is the promise the plan makes; the rest is what we check.

“We report openly on our progress…”

1

Transparency + Accountability

Openness and detail of reporting on RAP outcomes. Published numbers beat published sentiment.

SIGNAL WE CHECK → outcome data you can audit

“We are committed to Indigenous employment…”

2

Employment

Number — and retention rate — of Indigenous employees. Hiring is a start; keeping people is the test.

SIGNAL WE CHECK → headcount and retention, year on year

“We support Indigenous businesses…”

3

Supplier Engagement

Financial commitment to Indigenous self-determination. Where the procurement dollars actually went.

SIGNAL WE CHECK → dollars through Indigenous suppliers

“We give back to community…”

4

Community Support

Pro bono services and community development that outlast the launch event.

SIGNAL WE CHECK → programs still running a year later

AVG 1.4

The face scale. Every published score card uses the same five faces, so a 1 looks like a 1 whether it belongs to a coal miner or a consultancy. The marker shows where the sector average is sitting right now.

The evidence — 10 plans read

Their claim on the left, straight from the reconciliation table. Our score — and the gap between the words and the record — on the right. Average so far: 1.4 of 5.

Every published ReconciliACTION Score is recorded in the full table below, alongside each organisation’s own reconciliation claim.

Claims are taken verbatim from the live reconciliation table where the organisation’s own words are recorded; the remainder are the table’s published summaries. “On paper” is fixed at full — that is what the words promise; “in practice” is the ReconciliACTION Score. The full sortable table — all 194 rows — stays on this page as the single source of truth.

The full record

Every Reconciliation Action Plan we are tracking: 194 organisations, their reconciliation claim, our ReconciliACTION Score and the public score readers have given it. Scored organisations link to their full review. New plans are added as they are lodged.
