National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week is celebrated from 27 May–3 June each year.
National Reconciliation Week is a national campaign celebrating and building on respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous peoples. The dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey—the successful 1967 referendum (27 May) and the 1992 High Court Mabo decision (3 June).
Queensland Government and reconciliation
The Queensland Government is working on a number of initiatives as an act of reconciliation.
- Celebrating Reconciliation Small Grants Program (Note: Due to COVID-19, all events for the Celebrating Reconciliation Small Grants Program 2020 have been postponed until 2021 National Reconciliation Week.)
- Queensland Reconciliation Awards recognises businesses, community organisations, educational institutions and partnerships that are taking positive steps towards reconciliation across Queensland.
- Queensland Government Reconciliation Action Plan outlines government’s commitment to responsive policy development and the delivery of programs and services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders.
