National Reconciliation Week plays an integral role in the University’s cultural life. It is a time to reflect on our action towards achieving reconciliation and for celebrating the voices and influence of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across our campuses.
The National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, reflected the ongoing connection between past, present and future.
At a time when Australia faces uncertainty in its reconciliation journey, this theme called on all Australians to step forward together.
Bridging Now to Next urges us to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
We recognise the path to reconciliation is a collective responsibility. In 2021 we launched the One Sydney, Many People Strategy (2021-2024), This whole-of-University commitment to developing stronger and more accountable partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and our broader community is the foundation of long-term, achievable and sustained change towards reconciliation.
We invite our community to join us in our commitment by improving your cultural competence, learning about the action we are taking as a University and learning about the significance of repatriation for reconciliaton.
