Brisbane Broncos Reconciliation Action Plan a Message from Reconciliation Australia’S Ceo BRISBANE BRONCOS RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN A MESSAGE FROM RECONCILIATION AUSTRALIA’S CEO On behalf of Reconciliation Australia I congratulate the Brisbane Broncos on the launch of their third Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)—a Stretch RAP. FOREWORD In opting for a Stretch RAP, the Brisbane Broncos have built on the learnings of their earlier RAPs, reinforcing and reinvigorating their commitment to provide sustainable employment and personal development opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I am impressed by the new actions in the RAP including the Beyond The Broncos Program which will help guide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youngsters to make good life choices. Further enhancing the two way relationship with supporters through community engagement is another strong initiative. I commend the Broncos for being part of Reconciliation Australia’s RAP program and for taking their RAP to the next level. RAPs are driving social change in workplaces, sporting clubs and schools around the country and, as one of 600 plus RAP organisations, the Broncos are helping to influence that change through their sporting and community endeavours. This Stretch RAP strengthens the Broncos’ foundation for real respect and understanding between Aboriginal and Torres Strait players, staff and supporters and their non-Indigenous colleagues and football followers. I wish the Broncos well as they embark on the next step of their impressive reconciliation journey. Justin Mohamed CEO, Reconciliation Australia 3 RAP.indd 2-3 25/02/2016 3:48:16 PM BRISBANE BRONCOS CEO: PAUL WHITE The Brisbane Broncos remain committed to the promotion of and participation in reconciliation through the association and activities of the club. As we launch our third Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we reflect on the success of our initiatives and programs and aim to remain committed in keeping the vision of FOREWORD reconciliation alive within our organisation. This RAP refresh reiterates our genuine desire to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities and to improve outcomes for First Australian Peoples. A number of key initiatives have been introduced and expanded since our first RAP in 2012. Our Broncos Indigenous Mentoring program, Beyond The Broncos, has evolved immensely since its inception in 2010. We look forward to building new relationships with our students and help them to reach their full potential. We are dedicated to building stronger relationships with First Australian Peoples and communities. We are especially proud to expand our relationship with the Institute of Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH) and their Deadly Choices program as we continue to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders to make healthy lifestyle choices. This relationship demonstrates our commitment to the closing the gap campaign as we strive to close the life expectancy gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. On behalf of the Brisbane Broncos I would like to recognise Reconciliation Australia for its ongoing role in educating the community and promoting reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community. I also thank Reconciliation Australia for their continuous support in assisting the Brisbane Broncos with the RAP and its ongoing growth. We look forward to continuing our working relationship as we progress to make a positive contribution to closing the employment, economic and education gap between First Australian Peoples and other Australians. Paul White CEO, Brisbane Broncos Football Club 4 5 OUR VISION FOR RECONCILIATION The Brisbane Broncos Reconciliation Action Plan is a formal recognition of our activities within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, as well as a practical commitment to monitor and build on these activities. The Brisbane Broncos have a strong connection with members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players, staff, members and fans. These ongoing relationships have led to the Brisbane Broncos to utilise their sphere of influence by implementing a number of OUR VISION Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs in two key areas; closing the life expectancy gap closing the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians and, provide and improve outcomes and opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. Our vision for reconciliation includes stronger relationships and increased mutual respect for, the diversity of cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and a commitment to closing the social, health and economic gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Queenslanders. Our Reconciliation Action Plan outlines what we are doing to demonstrate and promote the key messages of reconciliation with a particular emphasis on the following: ● Provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people through community programs including the Beyond The Broncos program ● Develop an increased two way relationship and mutual respect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander supporters and members of the community through community engagement ● Increase our knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to build on existing relationships and demonstrate this respect in every interaction we have with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and community ● Increased opportunities for all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ participation in Rugby League, and specifically to build the skills of our employees and our wider community The Brisbane Broncos Board, staff and players see our club as one which acknowledges and respects the values of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their rich cultures and we will work to further enhance these ties with the community.

However, these successes have largely failed to translate into Indigenous health outcomes. Given the continued dominance of a colonial imagination, little research exists that values Indigenous perspectives, knowledges and practice in health promotion. This thesis contributes to addressing this knowledge gap. An ethnographic study of health promotion practice was undertaken within an Indigenous-led health promotion team, to learn how practitioners negotiated tensions of daily practice.

  • Victoria Beckham: Coming to America
    GOOD FRIDAY NRL DOUBLE-HEADER BULLDOGS VS RABBITOHS & BRONCOS VS TITANS LIVE AND FREE ON IMPARJA Viewers are set for an epic Easter weekend of NRL action, starting when Nine’s Wide World of Sports gives the rugby league faithful a blockbuster Good Friday double- header. At 3.30pm AEST tomorrow, Imparja presents LIVE and FREE, across the nation, the Bulldogs- Rabbitohs clash at ANZ Stadium – their traditional Easter showdown. This is a game for both clubs to confirm their premiership credentials after an up-and-down start to the season. Nine’s NRL expert Brad Fittler says: “I look forward to this game every year because it is always a pretty spiteful clash. I think it has a lot to do with English internationals James Graham of the Bulldogs and Sam Burgess of the Rabbitohs going up against each other. For some reason it brings out the best in them. “Two years ago this game boiled over and it wouldn’t surprise me if it happens again. The Doggies have had a resurrection of their own in the last two weeks and shifted Brett Morris to fullback, which I think is a good move by coach Des Hasler.” Fittler’s player to watch is Cody Walker: “He’s been doing it all, setting up tries and scoring tries. He has stepped up since Greg Inglis suffered a long-term knee injury in round one and he has really impressed me, so expect more of the same on Good Friday.” After the full time whistle in Sydney, Imparja will take viewers to Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane for the local derby between the Broncos and Titans from 7.30pm AEST.
