National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to reflect on our shared histories and relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation. National Reconciliation Week is an opportune time for presenters to discuss the issues surrounding the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Please have a think about how you can acknowledge and celebrate Sorry Day and National Reconcilation Week in your shows. It’s a great opportunity to play music of First Nations artists and muso’s, and feature First Nations speakers in your interviews. Keep an eye out for local happenings: Sorry Day gatherings, Market Building exhibitions and more.
The week is framed by the anniversaries of two significant milestones in our reconciliation journey – the successful 1967 Referendum (27 May) and the High Court Mabo decision (3 June).
The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2024 is Now More Than Ever.
This year’s theme is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must continue. Now more than ever, we need to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation. We know that the 6.2 million Australians who voted YES are committed to better outcomes for First Nations people, and are with us. It is imperative that supporters of reconciliation stand up to defend and uphold the rights of First Nations peoples. To call out racism wherever we encounter it, and to actively reinforce the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across this continent.
