Reconciliation Week Events
Be All In this National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week (27 May-3 June) is an opportunity for all Australians to reflect on our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to consider how we can each contribute to reconciliation.
The 2026 theme, All In, is a call for wholehearted commitment. It reminds us that reconciliation is not a passive process – it requires action from all of us. For too long, the responsibility has fallen disproportionately on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Meaningful progress depends on everyone stepping forward.
We are committed to supporting reconciliation through ongoing learning, connection and action, and this year’s program invites our community to come together to listen, reflect and engage.
The City will mark the week with a range of free events, including:
