National Reconciliation Week is held from 27 May to 3 June. This year’s theme, Now More Than Ever, is a reminder to all of us that the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is ongoing.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is held from 27 May to 3 June to commemorate the dates of the 1967 Referendum and the High Court Mabo Decision.

Marking the start of Reconciliation Week is the National Day of Healing, formerly called Sorry Day. This day marks the Stolen Generations. On this day we remember the mistreatment against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. And it is a reminder of how we all must come together to do better, especially for our First Nations children and their communities.

We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and this week is a reminder for us to explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia, and Lutruwita/Tasmania.
