Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that the information or content below may contain the names, voices, or images of people who have died.
Today, on Mabo Day, we recognise and honour the life and legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose courage and advocacy changed the course of Australian history.
The 1992 Mabo decision overturned the harmful colonial myth of terra nullius and recognised the enduring connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country, culture, community and identity. It was a landmark moment that paved the way for Native Title and greater recognition of Indigenous custodianship over traditional lands.
As National Reconciliation Week comes to a close, Mabo Day reminds us that reconciliation is not only about reflection, but about truth-telling, justice, listening and ongoing action.
At KRC, we acknowledge the strength, resilience and cultural knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, including the many community members we walk alongside and support every day. We recognise the ongoing impacts of colonisation, dispossession and systemic inequity, while also celebrating culture, connection and self-determination.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and honour the legacy of Eddie Mabo, whose impact continues to be felt across generations.
