RAPs are an initiative of Reconciliation Australia, an organisation dedicated to closing the 17-year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children in Australia.
Allens is one of 150 organisations - and the third law firm - to launch a RAP, following in the footsteps of Arnold Bloch Leibler and Gilbert + Tobin.
The RAP outlines a series of specific actions the firm will undertake, with targets to be met by 2010. It was officially unveiled at a function recently held in Sydney, attended by Aboriginal elders, NSW Governor Marie Bashir and representatives of the legal profession, law schools and pro-bono organisations.
