Reconciliation Australia is calling on all Australians to continue working towards a more just, inclusive, and respectful nation, one that learns from the past and acts in tangible ways, with purpose, to promote a continued national focus for reconciliation.
Karen Mundine (she/her), CEO of Reconciliation Australia, will share findings from the 2024 Australian Reconciliation Barometer (ARB). The Barometer is a national research study, undertaken every two years by Reconciliation Australia since 2008, and the only survey in Australia that measures the progress of reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians.
This presentation will include information and insights around emerging demographic groups showing strong support for reconciliation.
Professor Peter Anderson (he/him), Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous, University of New England, will then lead a discussion to explore Australia’s current state of reconciliation within the broader context of a shifting global climate.
Our speakers include:
- Dempsey Bloom (he/him), Know Your Customer Team Leader and Co-chair of the ANZ Reconciliation Network, ANZ
- Sara Stuart (she/her), Head of Indigenous Affairs, Coles
- Karen Mundine (she/her), CEO, Reconciliation Australia.
