New South Wales Reconciliation Council (NSWRC) is the peak representative body for reconciliation in NSW. The Council is made up of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians working through a range of groups and organisations to promote united communities and to address the ‘unfinished business’ of reconciliation – recognition of rights, promotion of economic independence and social justice for Indigenous people.
NSW Reconciliation Council raises awareness and understanding of reconciliation and Indigenous issues, advocates for social justice, equity and Indigenous Rights and grows and supports the people's movement for reconciliation.
NSW Reconciliation Council (NSWRC) was formed in 1997 as part of a local, state and national structure to support the legislated process of reconciliation. First known as the NSW State Reconciliation Committee (SRC) and chaired by Linda Burney, the Committee provided a bridge between communities and government in the development of reconciliation initiatives in NSW.
NSWRC currently has 22 members on its Council and 8 members on its Management Committee. Members are made up of regional representatives, youth and elder representatives and ordinary members. Councillors develop the fundamental focus and direction of the organisation while the management committee also assists in the high level management.
