Reconciliation is an ever-evolving journey, towards ensuring the First Nations peoples of Australia are respected and appreciated for their diverse cultures, connections to Country and contributions to Australian society. The foundation of reconciliation is gaining a vast and thriving knowledge of First Nations peoples. Reconciliation is respecting and appreciating the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives and histories. It also involves moving forward together to build relationships, respect and trust between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the broader Australian community. Reconciliation looks like a celebration of the rich diversities of First Nations peoples and all Australians, building respect and trust for a unified future for all our children and nation. It feels inclusive and respectful of all peoples, cultures interacting harmoniously, respectfully and fairly.
