The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2024 is Now More Than Ever. This theme provides a reminder that the work continues: in truth-telling, in understanding our history, in education and in tackling racism.

The City of Boroondara is taking action locally to create a welcoming community, strengthen relationships and deepen our connections with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and peoples.
