During this year’s National Sorry Day (26 May) and Reconciliation Week (27 May – 3 June), we acknowledge the Stolen Generation and Australia’s First Nations people.

It’s an opportunity for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements – and most importantly, explore how each of us can contribute at a local level to achieving reconciliation in this country.

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.

The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.

Having conversations with family, friends and colleagues about why we must build respectful relationships with each other, especially with First Nations peoples, is perhaps the biggest difference we can make as individuals.

Visit the National Reconciliation Week website for more information, including a list of public events you can attend to support and learn more about reconciliation. There are opportunities to sing in choirs, host a Reconciliation event, and more.
