State of Reconciliation in Australia
Reconciliation Australia’s 2021 State of Reconciliation in Australia Report captures a snapshot of where we are on our reconciliation journey as a nation, where we need to go and how we are going to get there.
The report’s focus of moving from ‘safe’ to ‘brave’ and urges the reconciliation movement towards braver and more impactful action.
