National Reconciliation Week 2024
13 May 2024
National 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. The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2024, Now More Than Ever, 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 will, and must, continue. Now more than ever, we need reconciliation.
This year, National Reconciliation Week begins on Monday, May 27th. There are a wide range of events happening in Canberra which all are encouraged to attend.
