Paul Jelfs Senior Reconciliation Champion

Dean Bowley Reconciliation Champion		Sybille McKeown Reconciliation Champion		Stephen Collett Reconciliation Champion		Samantha Palmer Diversity and Inclusion Champion

As the ABS Reconciliation Champions we are pleased to join the Australian Statistician in presenting the ABS Reconciliation Action Plan. This plan underpins our commitment and action towards reconciliation within the ABS and the wider community. We are committed to working closely with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, particularly our Youmpla Network, to cultivate strong and productive relationships and increasing and retaining the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation in the ABS and more broadly across the APS. We look forward to promoting, supporting and advocating on behalf of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees as we continue to raise and foster cultural awareness and work with our employees as we implement the ABS Reconciliation Plan over the coming years.
