Working towards reconciliation
Insignia Financial recognises that we have a role to play in supporting Reconciliation Australia’s vision for a reconciled, just and equitable Australia.
From May 2023 to May 2025, Insignia Financial proudly delivered 100% of its first Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in partnership with Reconciliation Australia. We deepened our understanding of cultural inclusion and economic participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, now and into the future. Following our Reflect RAP in 2022, our first Innovate RAP provided meaningful opportunities for our employees to foster a more inclusive and informed workplace.
In October 2025, Insignia Financial launched its second Innovate RAP, which builds on our learnings and continues progress with key partnerships and a defined vision on financial wellbeing for our people, customers and suppliers. Our next RAP will be implemented across Insignia Financial from October 2025 to October 2027.

Together with our Ambassador
Troy Cook, a Yamatji man from Carnarvon, Western Australia, has been Insignia Financial’s RAP Ambassador since 2023 to provide valuable guidance on our reconciliation vision and initiatives. Troy is a former Australian Rules Football player with Fremantle Football Club and Sydney Football Club and is currently the General Manager of Community and Employee Engagement at Waalitj Foundation, plus holds other senior leadership roles in Perth to build community and business engagement.
"Insignia Financial should be proud of the progress they’ve made through their Reconciliation Action Plan. Their current RAP builds on important foundations to improve financial wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations, and I look forward to seeing their vision continue to evolve in the years ahead."— Troy Cook, Insignia Financial RAP Ambassador.
Implementing our Innovate RAP
The delivery of our RAP formalises our approach to reconciliation by aligning our programs, initiatives and outcomes around four objectives:
Relationships — We believe the key to building successful and mutually beneficial relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is to have ongoing engagement in the communities in which we work.
Respect — From cultural training and adherence to cultural protocols to celebrating key Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander milestones, respect is part of our policies, programs, and our inclusive workplace.
Opportunities — We're striving for a workplace where diverse talents and viewpoints are not just recognised but celebrated. Our Diversity, Equity and Belonging Strategy maps out this vision.
Governance — Transparent reporting is crucial to ensure we're holding ourselves accountable in delivering on our promises.
Empowering young girls through artistic endeavours
Girls from Oz provides high-quality performing arts education to engage girls and young women in remote and regional Australia. Their vision is to foster a sense of belonging and connectedness between participants and their community, giving students the self-assurance to speak and perform in front of their peers and families and to feel proud of their achievements as empowered, resilient and confident young women.
Annually, the girls travel from rural Australia to Sydney where they have the once-in-a lifetime opportunity to perform at the Sydney Opera House with the Australian Girls Choir.
Since 2018, Insignia Community Foundation has provided support for the Girls from Oz Program in Lockhart River to see young people build their confidence, develop new skills and expand their educational and employment horizons through the transformative power of the performing arts.
Red Dust
Red Dust has been walking alongside remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities for over 25 years to deliver community-led health and wellbeing programs that celebrate culture, support connection, and empower young people.
Insignia Financial has been supporting Red Dust remote community programs in the Northern Territory since 2017. When we launched our Reflect RAP in 2022, Red Dust began supporting our cultural learning journey and in May 2024, we introduced Red Dust Reconciliation Education Essentials training that has been completed or started by nearly 25% of our workforce.
In 2024 the Insignia Community Foundation commenced supporting the ‘Remote Workforce Development Program’ in the Northern Territory to create meaningful and on-Country employment opportunities for First Nations peoples.
First Nations Foundation
First Nations Foundation aims to achieve financial literacy and prosperity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. They provide culturally designed financial education, training and information that will add value for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, regardless of where they fall on the wealth continuum.
With First Nations Foundation we’ve continued to deepen our understanding of financial wellbeing for customers who identify as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person.
We have attended the First Nations Super Summit—an event hosted by the Foundation that offers valuable insights into how superannuation can better reflect the cultural needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also maintain a role on the Indigenous Superannuation Working Group to collaborate with industry peers and representatives to drive meaningful, culturally informed change.
