We recently attended the largest National Reconciliation Week Breakfast in the nation, alongside more than 3,000 attendees gathered on Kaurna land.

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

A powerful Welcome to Country was delivered by Uncle Major “Moogy” Sumner AM, followed by engaging and thought provoking presentations from Jeremy Johncock, Hon Kyam Maher MLC, Aunty Ros Cameron, and the morning’s keynote speaker Eddie Betts.

Each shared stories of pride in their culture, resilience, and hopes for ongoing reconciliation. We also got to witness performances by Nathan May and the Adelaide Baroque String Quartet and 2004 Australian Idol winner, Casey Donovan.

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, #ALLIN, calls on all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.
