Reconciliation at Ingenia
As part of the Group's Reflect RAP we commissioned proud Worimi-Biripi man, Jake Simon who lives on Gadigal country, to create a unique artwork. The concept design integrates Ingenia’s brand colours into a vibrant canvas inspired by coastal landscapes, featuring warm earthy tones and black accents to honour First Nations heritage. Amongst other elements, meandering paths symbolise the life-giving rivers that intricately connect Ingenia’s communities and parks to their natural surroundings. It embodies sustainability, community, unity and harmony, resonating deeply with Ingenia’s core values.
Reconciliation at Ingenia
In FY25, Ingenia proudly achieved a significant milestone with the endorsement of our first Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) by Reconciliation Australia – reflecting the Group's commitment to meaningful engagement with First Nations communities.
This accomplishment was made possible through the dedicated efforts of our Reconciliation Working Group (RWG), which first convened at the end of 2023. The RWG meets regularly to enhance our engagement and build meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, guided by our Vision for Reconciliation.
Our vision for Reconciliation is to contribute to a nation that recognises, celebrates and values Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. By focusing on people and connection, we strengthen both community value and customer satisfaction.

Actions under our RAP
Actions under our RAP contributing to our reconciliation goals include:
- Launch of the Reconciliation@Ingenia internal SharePoint site to foster collaboration and share resources. The site features updates, case studies and learning opportunities.
- Cultural Awareness Workshops – Our partnership with Mirri Mirri has enabled over 60 Senior Leaders and People Managers from across our business to attend Cultural Awareness Workshops. We continue to expand access to these sessions and encourage staff to participate. We have also piloted specific workshops at holiday parks and communities to support local grass roots relationship development.
- National Reconciliation Week 2026 – during National Reconciliation Week 2026, our Sydney office welcomed Peter Cooley and his team from IndigiGrow to learn about IndigiGrow’s work – growing, reviving and championing endangered flora and bush foods native to Australia’s east coast. Following the session, Ingenia team members had the opportunity to sign up for volunteer sessions with IndigiGrow.
- Artwork And Storytelling – We unveiled our first commissioned weaving artwork by Jake Simon in 2025, at our newly opened clubhouse at Ingenia Lifestyle Natura. Jake also provided the digital artwork that features throughout our Reflect RAP which was featured on Ingenia Holiday Parks Conference 2024 official polo shirts. Jake is currently working on an electronic work to be displayed at Ingenia Lifestyle Element at Fullerton Cove.
- Community Engagement and Support – In FY25 we proudly sponsored the U17s girls’ Red Belly Warriors team in the Koori Knockout and have also continued to support Souths Cares leadership and cultural camps.
As we move forward, we remain committed to fostering inclusive practices, honoring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and delivering on our RAP initiatives.
We believe the momentum and transformative impact of our reconciliation journey to date will continue to inspire our people and shape our future.
