National Reconciliation Week 2026: All In
National Reconciliation Week (NRW), held from 27 May to 3 June, is a time to learn about Australia’s shared history and recognise the cultures and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It’s an opportunity to reflect, connect and support activities that bring communities together.
The 2026 theme, “All In,” encourages people to take part in reconciliation in ways that feel meaningful to them. It highlights the role we can all play through learning, listening and engaging with our communities.
Getting Involved During NRW 2026
There are a range of ways to take part during the week:
-
Take Time to Learn
Explore information, stories or displays that share Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives.
-
Support Local Businesses
Where available, consider supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned businesses and products.
The Meaning Behind the 2026 Artwork
The 2026 NRW campaign artwork, Gaagal, was created by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey.
The artwork uses the ocean as a metaphor for people from all walks of life coming together and being “all in” for reconciliation. The flowing movement throughout the piece reflects tides and currents, symbolising the ongoing journey toward reconciliation.
