National Reconciliation Week
2023 Events
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
The dates for NRW are the same each year; 27 May to 3 June.
Every year workplaces, schools, early learning services, community groups, reconciliation groups, and people right across the country host a whole range of activities.
You can also add your own event to this calendar or register your private event.

Dandjoo: Be a Voice for Generations Exhibition
8 June @ 10:00 am - 31 December @ 3:30 pm AWST
Meaning ‘together’ in the Whadjuk Noongar language, Dandjoo: Be a Voice for Generations presents stories and reflections from the Wadjemup Aboriginal Reference Group (WARG).
Encounter interviews, striking photography and special artefacts shared by the six members of the WARG – Pamela Thorley, Walter McGuire, Kathleen Musulin, Lindsay Dean, Casey Kickett and Brendan Moore. Hear their personal histories, thoughts on truth-telling about Wadjemup’s dark prison history and reflections on reconciliation for future generations.
The exhibition also features a new documentary by prominent Whadjuk Noongar director and filmmaker Dr Glen Stasiuk from BlackRussian Productions, capturing thought-provoking conversation and heartfelt moments of the WARG on a visit to Wadjemup/Rottnest Island.
