National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn, reflect and take meaningful steps towards reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, this is not simply history. It is living memory, ongoing grief, and intergenerational trauma that continues to shape families and communities today.
A message from OzChild Chief Executive Officer, Dr Lisa J. Griffiths following Anzac Day 2026 – Stand up. Speak out. Back in First Nations voices. There is no room for racism.
“January 26 is a day many First Nations people brace for.” Chad Lofthouse, Director – National Aboriginal Practice & Partnerships shares his personal reflections, and calls on all Australians to be courageous allies and embrace anti-racism.
The marking of 26 January is an important date in Australia’s history, but, celebrating the arrival of the First Fleet conjures feelings of both pride and pain: there is so much to celebrate about Australia – but for many, “Australia Day” is a difficult day for mourning.
