National Reconciliation Week

May 21, 2024

National Reconciliation Week is celebrated every year from 27 May - 3 June.

It's a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

This year's theme is “Now More Than Ever.” The theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in our everyday lives – where we live, work and socialise.

For the work of generations past, and the benefit of generations future, act today for a more just, equitable and reconciled country for all.

Find out more about what's happening at your campus and get involved with reconciliation discussions and activities.
