What is Reconciliation? Reconciliation Week | Reconciliation Week Kids | Naidoc Week for kids | Reconciliation Australia

Australia has a long history of reconciliation and countless people – Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous – have dedicated their life’s work to the reconciliation movement. As a result, many significant steps have been taken.
In the 25 years since the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (CAR) was established, the concept of reconciliation has taken a holistic approach that encompasses rights, as well as so-called symbolic and practical actions. Over this time, reconciliation has introduced a greater focus on the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians and opened up a national debate on prejudice, discrimination and racism. It has raised broader questions about our national identity and the place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and rights in our nation’s story. Recently, Reconciliation Australia also oversaw the Recognise campaign, promoting greater awareness of, and support for constitutional recognition of Australia’s First Peoples. We continue to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups, communities and individuals to see constitutional and legislative reform based on the recommendations of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Reconciliation can no longer be seen as a single issue or agenda and the contemporary definition of reconciliation must weave all of these threads together.

To develop a framework to measure Australia’s progress towards reconciliation across these many dimensions, Reconciliation Australia undertook a review of reconciliation in Australia and internationally. As a result of this work, five critical dimensions that together represent a holistic and comprehensive picture of reconciliation were identified.
