National Reconciliation Week, 27 May- 3 June 2026

National Reconciliation Week

This week we pause to reflect, learn, and recommit to reconciliation.

Reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians. It is not a destination, but an ongoing journey. Generations have fought hard for meaningful change, and that work is far from over.

Reconciliation is built on 5 fundamental ideas:

• Positive relationships built on trust and respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians

• Equality and equity and the collective respect of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples rights and cultures

• Historical acceptance of our nation’s history

• Institutional integrity where our political, business, and community institutions support reconciliation

• Unity

There are many ways to get involved:

• Connect with your local reconciliation network

• Amplify Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices

• Look into starting a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in your workplace.

This National Reconciliation Week, we honour the past, celebrate how far we have come, and keep walking forward together.
