National Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to reflect on how each of us can contribute to reconciliation.
This year’s theme, “All In”, reminds us that reconciliation is everyone’s responsibility. It calls on all Australians to step forward, listen, learn and take meaningful action towards a more respectful and inclusive future.
At CFA, we recognise the importance of building strong relationships with First Nations peoples and communities, and creating spaces where everyone feels valued, respected and included.
We encourage our members and communities to learn more, get involved and raise your voices for reconciliation.
