Events

National Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June every year. It's a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and consider how each of us can contribute to achieving a just, equitable and reconciled country for all.

This year’s theme, Bridging Now to Next, calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
