National Reconciliation Week 27 May - 3 June is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
This year the theme is Now More Than Ever reminding us that the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must continue.

The National Reconciliation Week 2024 design and artwork represent the momentum of the theme Now More Than Ever. The chevron, a universal symbol for pointing the way, signifies advancing as one as we look towards a reconciled future; and the vibrant artwork of Gubbi Gubbi artist Maggie Douglas encourages connecting with one another, understanding and continuing to move forward.
The 2024 theme design incorporating the artwork is by Carbon Creative.
