24.01.2022 The ACT has become the first jurisdiction in Australia to support raising the age of criminal responsibility from 10 to 14, in a move hailed by justice campaigners as a huge win for the rights of children. The resolution, which brings the territory into line with United Nations standards, says it will be the responsibility of whichever parties form government after the ACT election in October to amend the legislation. #RaiseTheAge

18.01.2022 Statement from Reconciliation Australia on Rio Tinto.

18.01.2022 Over the last week, weve shared stories and journeys of reconciliation. The 1987 Royal Commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody was one of several inquests into the treatment of First Nations people in Australia but we still face issues with incarceration, deaths in custody and forcible removal of Children. Its important we acknowledge the mistreatment of First Nations people is still a very real issue today. While reconciliation is about healing and acceptance, we need to work together to progress whilst acknowledging the trauma, frustration and anger that so many of our First Nations People experience.

01.01.2022 National NAIDOC Week 2020 celebrations will be held from the 8-15 November. The November dates follow the decision by the National NAIDOC Committee (NNC) to pos...tpone NAIDOC Week from the original July dates due to the impacts and uncertainty from the escalating Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic across our communities and cities. The postponement was aimed at protecting our elders and those in our communities with chronic health issues from the disastrous impacts of COVID19. As cooler weather approaches the need to protect our most susceptible remains. Further announcements regarding the National NAIDOC Awards and the reactivation of the 2020 NAIDOC Local Grants Round will be made within coming weeks. The NNC understands that the July dates for NAIDOC may still be acknowledged by communities and organisations, however we are mindful that those celebrations and physical gatherings will still be impacted by the various State and Territory COVID19 restrictions and social distancing measures. We acknowledge the commitment and tireless work of the many State, Territory, regional and local NAIDOC Committees, organisations and individuals whose passion each year makes NAIDOC Week an outstanding success. We thank you for your understanding and working with us during these uncertain times. The NNC are continuing to work with our partners and key stakeholders to make NAIDOC Week 2020 a suitable and fitting celebration of #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe
