Reconciliation WA is delighted to deliver the second session in our new Masterclass Series. Our Masterclasses will be informative, meaningful and engaging events aimed to support our members with practical and tangible strategies, advice and guidance on how to turn idea’s into action; and amplifying our reconciliation impact.
This session we are collaborating with Sam Evans, a respected and knowledgeable professional, with a long history of working in the reconciliation and Aboriginal engagement space, specialising in procurement and supply chain engagement.
Overview
Join us for a dynamic and practical online masterclass designed to support organisations at all stages of their procurement journey in building confidence and capability when engaging Aboriginal suppliers.
This session will unpack the Aboriginal Procurement Policy, explore how it aligns with Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) or Reconciliation Strategies, and provide practical tools to move beyond compliance towards impact-driven procurement.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your approach, this masterclass will equip you with strategies and resources to better align policy, purpose, and practice to achieve meaningful and measurable outcomes for Aboriginal businesses and communities.
What we’ll cover:
Understanding the Aboriginal Procurement Policy and its practical implications
Aligning procurement with your RAP or reconciliation commitments
Developing or strengthening internal procurement policies for inclusion
Tools, templates, and strategies to build internal capability
Best practice case studies and real-world examples
Measuring and communicating social impact
Creating pathways for long-term partnerships with Aboriginal businesses
Leave this session with confidence, clarity, and the practical resources needed to embed Aboriginal supplier engagement into your everyday operations — not just as a policy, but as a purposeful practice.
