A Time For Reconciliation
A Time For Reconciliation
National Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week
Monday 26 May to Tuesday 3 June 2025 is a time for reconciliation; with National Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week encouraging us all to explore and reflect on how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
National Sorry Day
Held each year on 26 May, National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families and communities, which we now know as ‘The Stolen Generations’.
National Sorry Day is a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process for our people and nation.
You can find out more about National Sorry Day on the Healing Foundation website.

National Reconciliation Week
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 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.
The theme for 2025, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future. Bridging Now to Next calls on all Australians to step forward together, to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
You can find out more about National Reconciliation Week on the Reconciliation Australia website.
