National Reconciliation Week 2023

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respect to them and their Elders, both past and present. As a business that works across many locations, we have a responsibility to listen, learn, and walk alongside First Nations peoples to ensure our activities support the continuing of connection to their land, waters, cultures, languages and traditions. We value their custodianship of 65,000 years.

The dates that bookend National Reconciliation Week commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum (on 27 May 1967), and the High Court Mabo decision (on 3 June 1992).

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2023 is “Be a voice for generations” calls on all Australians to act today to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation.

Reconciliation is a journey for all Australians – as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation. Everyone is encouraged to come together, in person where it is safe to do so, and join in conversations as we strive for a more just, equitable nation in an environment of unity and respect.
