Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation Week 2025 will be held from 27 May to 3 June
Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
This year’s theme is “Bridging Now to Next”, reflecting the ongoing connection between past, present and future
“Bridging Now to Next” calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
Council is commitment reconciliation through our new Reconciliation Action Plan, by strengthening our relationships with First Nations communities and organisations - and recognising their deep and enduring contribution to our City.
