Get ready for National Reconciliation Week 2026

National Reconciliation Week  (NRW) is almost here (27 May  to 3 June), and this year's theme, All In, is a bold call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. The theme makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport. And that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take meaningful action. It also reminds us that reconciliation is not solely the responsibility of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, who have carried the weight of championing and acting for far too long. Reconciliation will not happen without all of us. 

The #NRW2026 campaign artwork, a colourful and optimistic visual of people from all walks of life joining together, was created by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency.
