National Reconciliation Week (NRW) falls on May 27- June 3 annually. These dates are a remembrance of two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey – the 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision. It’s a time for all Australians to learn and acknowledge the Indigenous history and culture while continuing to explore how we can all contribute to fostering reconciliation through discussions, events and proactivity. 

The theme for #NRW2023 is “Be a Voice for Generations”, a call on all Australians to keep up the momentum for change and act today to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation.

“The theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways 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.” - Reconciliation Australia

We bring together valued members of our local Indigenous community for their insights on what it means to them to Be a Voice for Generations.
