Relationships

KBR is committed to building strong relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians as we advance towards meaningful and positive change. We will continue to work towards a better understanding of the histories, truths and voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Through this, we will strive to provide culturally safe and inclusive workplaces while identifying opportunities for future partnerships. In doing so, we will ensure we are better able to serve and support the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the many areas where we work.
