Reconciliation Action Plan
The Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) program provides a framework for organisations to support the national reconciliation movement. Metro Trains formalised its commitment to reconciliation in July 2019 by launching its first RAP, signalling a more considered and deliberate reconciliation effort.
Metro’s RAP artwork
Barring was created for Metro Trains by Dixon Patten, a proud Gunnai, Yorta Yorta and Gunditjmara man who was born and raised in Melbourne. Dixon is the lead storyteller and artist of Bayila Creative.
