Supporting Woodside’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Throughout the duration of Woodside's 2016-2020 RAP, we worked with our contractors to continue to provide opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses. We thank our contractors for sharing our commitment in growing the number of employees, trainees and contracting opportunities in our host communities.

To find out more about our contributions under the 2016-2020 RAP, read the 2020 Report here, and the statement from Woodside’s Chief Procurement Officer here.

Advance fee fraud scams
We never ask prospective suppliers for upfront fees. If your business receives a request for upfront payment from someone claiming to represent Woodside, please report the matter to your local law enforcement agency, and let us know through our Contact page. We are working with authorities to identify Advance Fee Fraud Scams and limit their impact.
