This year’s Reconciliation Week encouraged all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation – at home, at work and in social settings. Here’s how DDR team members are going to be a voice.

Shane Katauskas

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by continuing my own learning journey on the history and current state of Aboriginal affairs. As a leader of a business and young men in my family, I will be a voice to educate, advocate change and provide continuous learning opportunities for people within my sphere of influence. I know that this voice will go away one day, but hopefully it creates many more that will mean a reconciled tomorrow.”

Peter Cox

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by promoting diversity and inclusion, advocating for equal opportunities and representation, and fostering a supportive environment that respects and values Indigenous perspectives, experiences and contributions.”

Georgia Billwiller

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by listening and asking questions to actively learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and perspectives.”

Joeleen Arnold

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by providing support, guidance and education to my children, helping them overcome obstacles they face in their lives to achieve a purposeful and enjoyable life.”

Chris Kemp

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by learning about Indigenous cultures and the impacts, differences and similarities that can influence everybody’s daily perceptions.”

Lucia Britz

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by making positive decisions today, that will have a lasting impact on tomorrow and the years to come.”

Turlough O’Neill

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by going the extra mile to engage and grow the capabilities of local Aboriginal businesses and people on our projects.”

Asha Harris

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by role modelling the behaviours instilled in me by my elders and continuing to support and guide our younger generations.”

Ella Polkinghorne

“I’m going to be a voice for generations by openly listening and providing support and space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to have their own voice for generations to come.”
