16.01.2022 Each year National Reconciliation Week is celebrated from 27th May to 3rd June to commemorate two significant milestones in Australias reconciliation journey, the 1967 referendum and the High Court Mabo decision. 2020 also marks the 20th anniversary of the Reconciliation Walks of 2000, where people came together to walk on bridges and roads across the nation to show their support for a more reconciled Australia.

13.01.2022 ! Mabo Day occurs annually on 3 June and commemorates Eddie Koiki Mabo (29 June 193621 January 1992) from our Mer (Murray Is.) Community, whos...e campaign for Indigenous land rights led to a landmark decision of the High Court of Australia that, on 3 June 1992, overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius which had characterised Australian law with regards to land and title since 1770. The 1992 Mabo High Court decision acknowledged the prior and enduring rights to land of the First Peoples. On this day we Acknowledge and pay out Respect to all Traditional Custodians of the land in which we meet.

06.01.2022 Today would have been the 10th Annual NAIDOC Cup for Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services and unfortunately this year it was unable to happen due to COVID-19. Normally our staff and volunteers would have headed down to the Hunter Fields at Emu Plains early this morning, fronting the cold and preparing for the massive day ahead. Although we are enjoying being able to stay nice and warm in the office, we are sad that we will not get to see the hundreds of excited kids, tur...ning up to play Oz Tag and Netball, and to celebrate culture with each other. Since we are unable to run NAIDOC Cup this year, here is a throwback to NAIDOC Cup last year! #FlashbackFriday #NAIDOCCup
