National Reconciliation Week 2022

This year's National Reconciliation Week theme 'Be Brave. Make Change' is a challenge to all Australians — individuals, families, communities, organisations and government — to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.

Join us at the WA Museum Boola Bardip as we celebrate National Reconciliation Week 2022!
