The Bureau of Meteorology is proud to release the Reconciliation Action Plan 2016–2019. For the Bureau, reconciliation means meaningful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, whether they are end users of Bureau products and services, or contributing to and sharing knowledge in the development of our services.

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) aims to create respectful relationships and sustainable opportunities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and other Australians. The plan also helps us achieve our Strategic Plan 2015–2020 objectives.
Developed in collaboration with Reconciliation Australia, the Bureau's Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group, Grant Sarra and other interested employees, our stretch RAP builds on the achievements of the previous RAP and challenges the Bureau to become a leading advocate for reconciliation in Australia.
Some of our Indigenous initiatives include:
- the Indigenous Careers Program, which aims to increase employment opportunities through the recruitment of cadets and graduates; and
- Indigenous Weather Knowledge, the online platform providing education about, and preservation of, our Indigenous people's relationships with the environment, weather and climate.
