National Reconciliation Week

Each year from 27 May to 3 June, National Reconciliation Week invites all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how we can all contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The dates mark two significant milestones: the 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision. This year's theme calls on us to use our voices to create lasting change—honouring the wisdom of Storytellers while empowering the next generation to lead with strength and pride.

All In for National Reconciliation Week 2026

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.

The #NRW2026 campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency.
