National Reconciliation Week is here

National Reconciliation Week is an important time for all Australians to reflect on and learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and how we can contribute to reconciliation.

This year we are excited to observe National Reconciliation Week from 27 May to 3 June, recognising this year's theme, Now More Than Ever.

The theme invites all Australians to take time to reflect on the ongoing fight for justice and the rights of First Nations
people.

Throughout the week, we'll be hosting a series of events and activities to honour First Nations cultures and foster meaningful conversations about reconciliation.

Here’s a look at what’s on:

First Nations Market Stall

Throughout National Reconciliation Week, you will have the opportunity to browse a vibrant market stall showcasing the incredible artistic talent of First Nations creatives.

Discover the products of Ngali, Blak Brews, Ngumpie Weaving, Kinya Lerrk, Ngarga Warendj, Haus of Dizzy, Clothing the Gaps, and Jala Jala Treats.

Conversation Corner
