The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 All In has been announced and calls on Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day.
National Reconciliation Week – 27 May to 3 June every year – is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to recommit ourselves to reconciliation and the fight for First Nations justice in Australia.
This year’s theme All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport, and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.
The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long.
Reconciliation Australia turns 25 this year. The 25th anniversary presents a renewed invitation for all Australians to lift our actions and commitment for major change.
The work that remains to be done requires all of us to do our part. All In is not about guilt or shame, but about the reciprocal responsibility of being Australian. Reconciliation will not happen by itself; we must be all in for reconciliation.
The #NRW2026 campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency.
The 2026 artwork is by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey creating a colourful and optimistic visual representation of people from all walks of life being ‘all in’ to make change.
