Reconciliation Week 27th May - 3rd June

Reconciliation Week is held every year from 27th May until 3rd June. The week marks two important dates – the anniversary of the 1967 referendum (27th May 1967) and the anniversary of the Mabo land rights decision (3rd June 1992). The week commemorates the gains made for Indigenous rights and reconciliation throughout Australia’s history, and provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the work that still needs to be done.

Each year community groups, schools, and other organisations across the country mark Reconciliation Week by holding events including discussion forums, Indigenous cultural festivals, flag raising ceremonies, walks, school fetes and other projects aimed at raising awareness of Indigenous social justice issues and exploring ways of meeting these challenges in our communities. Events are also held for Sorry Day, which precedes Reconciliation Week on the 26th May, to commemorate the day the Bringing them Home Report on the Stolen Generations was presented to Parliament.
