Enfold Projects prides itself on being an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to embracing reconciliation and are pleased to provide this Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). This is the first RAP completed by Enfold and We look forward to seeing it succeed and lead on to the next stage of the Innovate RAP.

The RAP has been created to ensure that we increase opportunities for procurement from and employment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We would also like to see all staff at Enfold become more culturally aware. We hope to grow our understanding and continued respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as a result of this RAP.

Enfold is a family owned business with a national reach. We would like to use our knowledge of business to be able to assist Indigenous enterprises within the area of construction and design to reach their potential.

We look forward to our reconciliation journey.
