Reconciliation Action Plan
At ANZ, we believe in working together to celebrate differences and create an equitable future where all communities thrive.
We recognise we have a role to play in progressing positive relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community.
Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia that is unified around a shared history that celebrates and honours the unique contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a roadmap outlining ANZ's commitment to social and economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and respecting the world’s oldest continuous culture. Our RAP is monitored by a RAP Steering Committee to ensure we deliver on our commitments and achieve our objectives.
The conclusion of our 2021-2024 Stretch RAP on 30 September 2024 marks our fifth completed RAP since 2007. We are currently developing our next RAP and look forward to sharing more information soon.
Our 2021-2024 RAP Final Report provides detailed information on ANZ's overall performance across all 17 actions, comprised of 100 deliverables.

First Nations design principles embedded into the design concepts for key offices
and branch refurbishments or new builds, in consultation with local Traditional Owners.
This design, by creative director Marcus Lee, visualises five outer shapes which represent thriving people and communities, reflecting ANZ’s five values of – Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.
The five rotating people shapes connect around the three inner concentric rings which represent a central community meeting place. Additionally, the three central rings reflect our focus areas of Housing, Environmental Sustainability, and Financial Wellbeing.
The coloured lines and dotted pathways extend from the people through to community where positive relationships between ANZ and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations can be forged to help shape a world where people and communities thrive.
ANZ acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Australia. We recognise their continuing connections to the land, waters, territories and resources.
We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging. We honour their enduring traditions, knowledge and contributions as the world’s oldest living cultures.
We extend our thanks to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and organisations who generously share their time, wisdom, and cultural knowledge to guide and support the development and delivery of our Reconciliation Action Plan.
