National Reconciliation Week 2026

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a chance for all Australians to reflect on our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and learn how to individually contribute towards reconciliation in Australia.⁠

⁠This year's theme for #NRW2026 (May 27 to June 3) is 'All In'. It's a call to action, an invitation for all Australians to take action towards reconciliation every single day of the year. ⁠

As Reconciliation Australia explain; “All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long. Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.”

The #NRW2026 campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency. The artwork for this campaign is by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey, who applied his distinctive style to create a colourful and optimistic visual representation of people from all walks of life being ‘all in’ to make change.

⁠At The Buttery, we acknowledge and honour the strength, resilience, and enduring cultures of First Nations peoples. During National Reconciliation Week, we reaffirm our commitment to creating culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful spaces for our First Nations participants, colleagues, families, and communities.⁠

We recognise that reconciliation is not a single week of reflection, but an ongoing responsibility — one grounded in listening, learning, truth-telling, and meaningful action.

We are committed to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with respect, humility, and partnership as we continue working toward better outcomes for our communities.
