National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is Monday 27 May until Monday 3 June. This year’s theme ‘Now More Than Ever’ is a reminder to all of us that the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will – and must – continue, and we can discover ways of contributing to this by learning about our shared histories, cultures and achievements in Australia.
