Thanks to all who came along to celebrate NAIDOC Week with us.

While NAIDOC Week is an important time to come together in celebration and reflection, our commitment to listening, learning and walking alongside First Nations peoples shouldn't begin and end in one week.

Every week is an opportunity to celebrate culture, strengthen relationships and create spaces where our mob can thrive!

50 Years of Deadly! Too deadly, that is!

🤝 Reconciliation Week 2026 🤝

This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, “ALL IN,” reminds us that reconciliation is not just something we acknowledge for one week each year - it is something we commit to every day.

Throughout the week, we were fortunate to take part in several meaningful events, including hosting a morning tea at the Ngunnawal Centre as well started a beautiful piece of art, a book reading at the Day Care (read by our incredible staff member Tea) and the launch of Bugiya, Nhaway, Buraadja (Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow): Stories from the Wreck Bay People.

As always, Uncle Paul had us all laughing, while the creative writing readings offered powerful insights, hope, and truth. These stories highlighted the importance of Truth-Telling and the role it plays in creating a stronger future for generations to come.

A special reminder that the ACT is the only Australian jurisdiction to recognise Reconciliation Day as a public holiday - an important opportunity to reflect, learn, and continue the journey toward reconciliation.
