A.G. Coombs Group’s formal Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), received endorsement by Reconciliation Australia in November 2016.
The RAP outlines clear, achievable and measurable actions to realise our vision for reconciliation.
Our RAP is aligned with our Companies’ Core Values and is supported at all levels of our organisation. The RAP contains tangible actions including:
- Establishing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander supplier diversity (including through membership of Supply Nation).
- Investigating ways to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment. This is achieved through engagement with our current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees and accessing established industry networks and partners such as RAW Recruitment and AFL Sportsready.
- Increasing the cultural awareness of all of our employees, by conducting whole of organisation cultural awareness training and taking part in events of significance.
We commit to working collaboratively with all of our employees, including our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, our suppliers, clients and all other stakeholders.
As Australia’s leading Building Services Specialist, we recognise our role in leading the conversation and effecting the necessary change in the area of reconciliation.

Message from the Artist
This artwork symbolises working together and reconciliation. The two people in the picture come from different backgrounds but are working as one together and sowing the seeds and building a strong foundation in order to grow a brighter future.
The middle part of the art signifies a seed growing into a small tree. This applies in our everyday life at work; respecting and valuing each other’s differences.
The blue side represents cooling and the red, heating.
The design on both sides represents the two paths coming together – the paths of everyday people at A.G. Coombs working together and valuing each other.
The round outer section represents pipes and our continuous path of growth. The colours orange, green, black and white symbolise the company A.G. Coombs.
