Wear It Yellow with Children's Ground, this National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week takes place between May 27 and June 3 every year in Australia. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey: the successful 1967 Referendum and the High Court Mabo decision, respectively.
The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2024, Now More Than Ever, is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will —and must —continue.
Let us start a new chapter in the future of Australia, where we walk as equals. Where reconciliation is not just a word and a day in the calendar, but where we reconcile the trauma and atrocities of the past and celebrate our shared future and knowledge. William Tilmouth, Arrernte Elder and Founding Chair of Children’s Ground

From infants to Elders, we work with entire communities over a 25-year period to make real and lasting change. From Learning and Wellbeing to Community Development, Cultural Development and Systemic change, Children’s Ground is an evidenced-based approach, designed with First Nations leaders to achieve radical reform.
National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about the truth of our Australian history, the depth of our First Nations cultures and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia with First Nations peoples and communities.
