Our Indigenous Commitment
At Xtreme Protection Group (XPG), we are deeply committed to reconciliation and fostering meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities. Our journey towards reconciliation is guided by our inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which reflects our dedication to engaging with, supporting, and empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, both within and beyond our organisation.
Our RAP is built on three core pillars:
Relationships
Respect
Opportunities
Through these pillars, we aim to bridge the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, fostering a more inclusive and respectful society. We believe that education, awareness, and inclusive practices are essential to creating a deeper understanding of Indigenous culture, history, and perspectives. Our commitment to this journey starts by empowering our people, enabling them to better appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Our RAP-054964 Guidelines document serves as a crucial resource for all employees, providing valuable insights into Indigenous culture and history. It lays the foundation for stronger, more respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, reinforcing XPG’s commitment to reconciliation in all aspects of our business operations.
Featured Artist: Dearne Khan
Artist Profile: Dearne Khan, a proud Wiradjuri woman raised on Wallumedegal land and currently residing in Darug country, is a talented artist who brings her cultural heritage and healing practices to life through her work. As a Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, Dearne facilitates Dadirri mindfulness, art, and weaving workshops, empowering individuals to heal and reconnect with culture and community.
Artwork Title: “Creation and Connections”
Dearne’s artwork, Creation and Connections, is a powerful depiction of the Rainbow Serpent, a key figure in Aboriginal Dreamtime stories representing the creator and protector of life. The piece symbolises the sacred connection between land, people, and spirit, incorporating native flora such as Wattle, Quandong, and Flannel flower—plants essential for both nourishment and healing. Through vivid depictions of landscapes and communities, Dearne’s artwork reflects the values of environmental stewardship passed down through generations.
Xtreme Protection Group is honoured to showcase Dearne’s artwork, which aligns with our ongoing efforts to promote cultural awareness and foster respect for Indigenous traditions, stories, and the critical importance of protecting our environment.
Our Actions: Honouring Indigenous Cultures
At XPG, our commitment to Indigenous communities goes beyond words. It is embedded in our actions, values, and the environment we cultivate. To demonstrate our respect and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, we proudly display Indigenous artwork throughout our workplaces. These pieces serve as constant reminders of our commitment to reconciliation, the preservation of Indigenous traditions, and the importance of respecting Indigenous history and stories.
We actively encourage our employees to engage with these artworks as more than just decorations—they are conduits of cultural learning and appreciation. By embedding Indigenous art and symbols of respect into our daily environments, we aim to foster a workplace culture that honours and celebrates Indigenous heritage and values. This approach ensures that our commitment to reconciliation is reflected in everything we do.
Through our artwork displays, cultural education programs, and engagement initiatives, we are actively creating a workplace that not only respects Indigenous culture but also actively contributes to its preservation and celebration.
