Today marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum, when Australians overwhelmingly voted to remove clauses in the Constitution that discriminated against First Nations peoples.

It also marks the start of Reconciliation Week, recognising that there is still much work to be done in the upholding and strengthening of rights for First Nations peoples – and it will take all of us to listen, learn, and act.

So how will you be ‘All In’ this week and every other week of the year? ✊

We stand with the Healing Foundation this National Sorry Day who are calling for governments to take urgent steps to create tangible and measurable change within Stolen Generations survivors’ lifetimes.

This year’s national theme, From Sorry to Action, implores those in leadership to prioritise the four urgent actions in the foundation’s 2025 "Are you waiting for us to die? The unfinished business of Bringing Them Home” report to address intergenerational trauma and support survivors.

Acknowledging the past and sharing stories of truth is a fundamental step in supporting self-determination for First Nations peoples.

On Friday morning, our team attended Link-Up (Qld)’s Sorry Day community breakfast at West End, an important event that calls out government policies that resulted in widespread generational trauma and profound cultural loss. We want to thank the Stolen Generations survivors for bravely sharing your stories, as well as Crystal West (pictured with us) for your beautiful singing at the event.

We gathered, and laid a wreath, to remember and honour the survivors and descendants of the Stolen Generations 🧡 💜

In the midst of complex and challenging social issues, it was an honour for us to create a space for respectful dialogue and human rights education this week alongside the Australian Human Rights Commission 🌀

We learned a lot during this insightful discussion on the principles and strategies that make more respectful and inclusive communities. Thank you to our generous panellists and the communities who showed up to the seminar!
