National Reconciliation Week 2026 poster

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is celebrated across Australia every year between 27 May and 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey — the anniversaries of the successful 1967 referendum and the 1992 High Court Mabo decision. National Reconciliation Week 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 theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is “All In”, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. The theme 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. Within CSIRO, a range of virtual and site-based events and activities will be held during National Reconciliation Week. 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.
