Our vision for reconciliation in Australia is to celebrate and welcome First Nations peoples, histories, cultures, languages, and art in the properties and precincts we operate and develop. Our mission is to create environments and experiences where all cultures feel welcome.
Reconciliation Action Plans
First Nations engagement is rising to the forefront of Australia’s property industry with supplier diversity and culturally collaborative approaches to development, such as ‘Designing for Country’, becoming increasingly important to both the industry and wider community.

Making a difference
Throughout this journey we've come to understand how our business can play a positive role in creating spaces where all cultures feel welcome, and how we can build opportunities to elevate the narratives of Australia’s many First Nations communities.
Our Reflect RAP - which we launched in 2022 - helped us to set out a framework and educate ourselves in order to embark on our reconciliation journey in a meaningful way. In 2024 we launched our Innovate RAP and we’re now developing our commitment to Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and peoples through our sphere of influence, and by using our learnings from the Reflect stage.

Brookfield Cares
In 2024 we pledged a donation to Yalari in support of a scholarship that will see an Indigenous student through secondary school. At the start of 2025 the scholarship student entered year 8, the second year of high school.
We are dedicated to supporting youth and education as one of our charitable pillars. Through our partnership with Yalari our people have uncovered volunteering opportunities to support fundraising efforts and young students in the Yalari program. Our team in WA have also supported the growth of the charity in Perth through networking lunches and presentations with peers, clients and tenants.
Yalari believes that education is key to generational change and a brighter future for Indigenous Australians. Since 2005 the organisation has been providing scholarships to Indigenous children from regional and remote communities across Australia.
