First Nations Relationships

We’re always looking for ways to build stronger connections with communities, and that defines how we work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Meaningful engagement with these peoples and businesses—and a commitment to the prosperity of their communities—is essential to our promise: with every community, we redefine what's possible.

Our values guide our actions. To achieve respectful and supportive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and businesses, we recognise the cultural history, diversity, and distinctiveness of their communities.

Stantec acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to the land, waters, and communities where we work. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Our first Innovate RAP collates the multifaceted approach to reconciliation that we inherited from our legacy firms. It unites our commitment to reconciliation while challenging us to deepen our efforts and outlines how we’ll continue to create meaningful and respectful relationships with First Nations peoples.

Working with Indigenous students

We participate in the Indigenous Australia Engineering School through our partnership with Engineering Aid Australia—helping host 25 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in Year 9–12 from various parts of Australia, getting them excited about a career in engineering. And we’re a proud partner of the Clontarf Foundation, a not-for-profit organization helping improve the education, self-esteem, life skills, and employment opportunities of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
