National Reconciliation Week is 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.

National Reconciliation Week starts 27 May to coincide with the anniversary of the 1967 Referendum (PDF 320 KB) where over 90% of Australians voted to give the Australian Government power to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and recognise them in the Census.

It ends 3 June to coincide with the anniversary of the Mabo Decision (PDF 174 KB), which celebrates the High Court’s historic judgement, delivered in 1992, to overturn the concept of ‘terra nullius’ (land belonging to no one). This led to legal recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of lands and paved the way for Native Title.

This year, the National Reconciliation Week theme, ‘Be Brave. Make Change.’ is a challenge to all Australians to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.

PIRSA proactively supports reconciliation and has actively participated in National Reconciliation Week for many years. We understand that individuals, families, communities, and organisations all play a role in improving race relations, equality and equity, and historical acceptance. And that, collectively, we can build relationships that value Aboriginal peoples, histories, cultures, and futures.
