❤️🩹On 26 May each year, we observe National Sorry Day — a day of remembrance, reflection and truth-telling about one of the most painful chapters in Australia’s history: the Stolen Generations.
Today, we honour the strength, resilience and survival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, families and communities impacted by forced removals and ongoing intergenerational trauma.
This year’s national theme, From Sorry to Action, reminds us that acknowledgment alone is not enough. Sorry without action cannot create lasting change. This moment calls for leadership, accountability and meaningful action to improve outcomes for survivors within their lifetimes.
As Australians, we all have a role to play — by listening deeply, learning truthfully, standing in solidarity and supporting reconciliation through tangible actions every day.
🫶As a sign of respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures, the Aboriginal Flag and Torres Strait Islander Flag are flown alongside the Australian National Flag throughout National Reconciliation Week — symbols of unity, respect and hope for a more reconciled future.
