Reconciliation at NGS Super

Acknowledgment of Country

NGS Super acknowledges the traditional owners of the land where our staff gather to work across Australia. We recognize their connection to and role in caring for the land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan

The NGS Super Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), outlines our plan for advancing reconciliation within the Fund and the organisations and communities that we partner with.

Helping our members prepare for their tomorrow is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that each of our members is different and has different needs and financial goals. This is why we work hard to provide the support and education they need at each stage of their super and retirement journey.

We also understand that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities face unique challenges when it comes to saving and planning for retirement – which is why we want to help them build the best possible future and financial outcomes for themselves and their families.

Our Reflect RAP outlines the actions we believe will help further inclusion and foster reconciliation. It sets out how NGS intends to:

• Foster meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups and communities,
• Address inequity and promote inclusion for First Nations peoples, and
• Lift employee engagement with and understanding of reconciliation.

It is our commitment to using our voice to work for deeper cultural understanding and inclusion for First Nations peoples.

Our RAP Artwork

NGS Super commissioned Bree Buttenshaw a proud Kalkadoon woman, based in Quandamooka Country to design our RAP artwork. Here Bree tells the story of the design.

This artwork is the story of NGS Super and what they represent - governance, meaningful relationships, caring for the environment and education. The three large circles represent social (people and community): governance (structure and organisation): and know how (knowledge). The circles are all connected representing that NGS cares about your tomorrow. Flora is used throughout the artwork to represent the importance of the environment to NGS. The lemon myrtle in the top right corner represents the five NGS offices.
