National Reconciliation Week – Resources
From Just Update – Justice and International Mission cluster at UCA VicTas Synod
National Reconciliation Week – 27 May to 3 June every year – is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to recommit ourselves to reconciliation and the fight for First Nations justice in Australia.
National Reconciliation week resources can be found here. A list of multilingual resources can be found here.
“All In” is the theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 and is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.
All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take actions that create change.
Reconciliation Australia turns 25 this year and our 25th anniversary presents a renewed invitation to all of us to lift our actions and commitment for major change.
A list of Reconciliation Week Activities can be found here:
Friends of Treaty (Victoria)
From Just Update – Justice and International Mission cluster at UCA VicTas Synod
Treaty is the pathway to providing Aboriginal communities with the power to develop and deliver practical solutions at a local level. When First People’s Communities are thriving, strong and proud with culture and language, we all benefit.
We want everyone who calls Victoria home, to be able to share in, celebrate and benefit from the wisdom and knowledge that our cultures and languages have to offer.
For allies of Treaty in Victoria, you can be part of the Friends of Treaty program
Reconciliation Sunday (SA Synod Resource) – 31st May
From Just Update – Justice and International Mission cluster at UCA VicTas Synod
The South Australian Mission Resourcing team have produced a 31st May resource for Reconciliation Sunday with the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) to be used and adapted by Congregations and Faith Communities.
Reconciliation Sunday is an opportunity to both acknowledge history, and to renew the Church’s commitment to walking together as First and Second Peoples, seeking right relationship grounded in justice, truth-telling, healing, and hope.
The 2026 theme ‘All In’ calls the Church and the wider community to move beyond symbolic gestures toward sustained commitment and shared responsibility. Reconciliation Australia reminds us that reconciliation is not a spectator activity. It requires ongoing personal, communal, and structural participation as we seek relationships marked by mutual respect, dignity, and justice.
To be ‘All In’ is to commit ourselves to the long journey of transformation shaped by listening, humility, and faithful action.
