National Reconciliation Week 27 May – 3 June
Reconciliation Australia’s theme for this year’s National Reconciliation Week is More than a word. Reconciliation takes action, – urging the reconciliation movement towards braver and more impactful action.

There are many resources available that you can utilise or share to broaden your knowledge or that of others too.
