Generating social impact through community engagement is a key driver for ICC Sydney and many of our clients. Whilst ICC Sydney does not offer cash donations in line with our Code of Practice, we support our partners through subsidised event facilities, pro-bono consulting and corporate volunteering, in-house work placements and mentoring and donations of equipment and furniture.

First Nations Engagement and RAP

Residing in the heart of the rejuvenated Darling Harbour precinct, ICC Sydney rests on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. As a gateway for international and local visitors to experience Sydney and its surrounds, ICC Sydney recognises its responsibility to acknowledge the Aboriginal heritage of Darling Harbour (Gomora) and Tumbalong, celebrating our First Nations culture.

In November 2018, ICC Sydney launched its inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan outlining a 2 year plan to celebrate, recognise and acknowledge Australia’s First Nations cultures, histories and people.

Australia is home to the world’s oldest known people, with evidence suggesting that the civilisation of Aboriginal Australia dates back over 50,000 years. For thousands of years, Australia’s First Peoples occupied the land within borders very different to those we know today, with over 500 distinct Nations across Australia – each with their own languages, customs and beliefs.

In First Nations cultures, visitors are traditionally welcomed when stepping onto country or Aboriginal land. Providing an official Welcome to Country prior to an event or meeting is a widely accepted protocol in contemporary Australia that demonstrates respect and acknowledgement for the traditional owners of the land.

The Gadigal people of the Eora Nation are the traditional owners of the land of Darling Harbour and its surrounds. Traditionally called Gomora or Tumbalong – meaning a place where seafood was found – the area was used to source food and travel along the waterways to neighbouring clans.
