ACHS Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Artwork Unveiled

Introducing our new RAP artwork, representing a vibrant expression of knowledge, healing and community.

We are proud to showcase 'Healthy Together', a powerful new artwork by Kamilaroi and Jerrinja woman, Jasmine Sarin. Commissioned for the ACHS Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) the artwork is proudly displayed in the reception at ACHS Head Office in Sydney.

This beautiful digital design reflects the spirit of collaboration, learning and shared responsibility that sits at the heart of ACHS’s work. The design is inspired by the idea of fostering support and strong networks to achieve improved health outcomes for communities.

Jasmine has thoughtfully selected colours that complement ACHS’s branding while also evoking a deep connection to Sky Country. The artwork references songlines and the guidance of stars and constellations—symbols of knowledge, navigation and continuity that resonate strongly with the role ACHS plays in guiding health services toward best practice.

At the centre of the piece are community symbols, representing ACHS’s vital role in supporting healthcare organisations to implement and sustain high-quality standards. These symbols are interconnected by knowledge lines, each featuring three dots that reflect the journey of learning: past knowledge, new information and future knowledge. Together, they speak to continuous improvement and the sharing of wisdom across generations and systems.

The leaves woven throughout the artwork symbolise healing and new growth. As Jasmine explains, leaves are often used in cultural practices to create welcoming and cleansing smoke, recognising the importance of culture in both physical and psychological healing and in clearing negative energies.
