Have you seen the medals for the International Women’s Day Deadly walk or run this coming Sunday?! Inspired by Evelyna Dhamarrandji- a proud Yolngu woman from the remote community of Galiwin’ku on Elcho Island in East Arnhem Land and the 2026 Women Warrior for The Indigenous Marathon Foundation 🥇

National Reconciliation Week 2026 Theme Announcement📢

The theme for NRW 2026 is 'All In' — a reminder that reconciliation grows strongest when all of us show up with courage, respect, and a willingness to learn.

'All In' celebrates the strength and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and invites every one of us to play an active role in reconciliation each day.

This year’s campaign was created with First Nations‑owned agency Carbon Creative, featuring vibrant artwork by Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey, symbolising people from all walks of life coming together with purpose and optimism.

As we move toward 27 May – 3 June, we encourage everyone to reflect:

What does going All In look like for you?
How can you contribute to reconciliation in your work, community, or daily life?
What meaningful actions — big or small — can you take?
Reconciliation happens when we choose to be part of it.

This year let’s go All In — together.

The theme, All In, is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

Hi Community, following the postponement of the Reconciliation in the South in May due to severe weather, we are on track to deliver the event in a similar way as previous years with a free family friendly event including a Greeting to Country, Aboriginal film in the Hopgood Theatre, guest speakers, performers, stall holders and a range of cultural activities.

We would love you to come to join with us, with community, to celebrate Reconciliation in the South 2025.
