National Reconciliation Week 2025
National Reconciliation Week
The dates for National Reconciliation Week (NRW) remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey— the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively.
The NRW theme for 2025, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future.
Bridging Now to Next calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
How can you support?
Through educating yourself and others around you, together we can support the reconciliation journey.

National Reconciliation Week strengthens my commitment to mentor with positivity, to uplift our young people and to help them believe they can do whatever they want to do” - Tallisha Harden
