Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders at Gilbert + Tobin

G+T has a long-standing relationship with Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations through the work of our Pro Bono practice. At the heart of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is a commitment to increase the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians among our employees.

  • We acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional custodians of the lands and waters of this nation. We particularly acknowledge the custodians of the lands upon which our offices are located and where we have the privilege to work today – the Gadigal people (Sydney), the Wurundjeri people (Melbourne), and the Whadjuk people (Perth).
  • We were the first Sydney law firm to have a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), and the second nationally.
  • We are a leader in Indigenous employment. Our Indigenous Employment Strategy includes a First Nations Cadetship Program for law students, and places for Indigenous people in non-legal roles.
  • We provide financial support to Indigenous community organisations, including the Tribal Warrior Association, National Indigenous Youth Leadership Academy and Mudgin-Gal Aboriginal Corporation.
  • We support Indigenous economic development by procuring products from Supply Nation certified Indigenous businesses.
  • We have been a strong advocate for Indigenous constitutional recognition and the need for an Indigenous voice to Parliament, both as a firm and through the personal efforts of our Managing Partner, Danny Gilbert.
