25.01.2022 We've celebrated NAIDOC Week at WesTrac with several events and initiatives. In WA, Shaun Nannup (pictured) visited us to run a workshop. Shaun is a Whadjuk Nyoongar man, father, elder and self-described human being who talked to us about his life, indigenous culture, current issues and steps everyone can take to ensure we are all one united community. Team members were encouraged to discuss Shaun's talk with their family. We also had the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Str...ait Islander Flags flying at all of our branches across the state. In NSW, we focused on prominent indigenous Australians by sharing their profiles across the business for information and awareness into the history and culture. In the coming weeks we'll also be proud to display artwork from local indigenous artist Lauren Freestone at our Tomago head office. WesTrac is proud to support NAIDOC Week and celebrate the traditional custodians of the land we are so fortunate to call home. Our Diversity and Inclusion Committee is focused on increasing indigenous Australian employment within our business. Read more about diversity at WesTrac: https://bit.ly/3prZ090
