Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation Week 2024 was held 27 May to 3 June
Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
We are committed to our role in supporting and advocating for a deeper understanding of reconciliation through building our relationships with First Nations communities and organisations and recognising their invaluable contribution to our City.

Captivating audiences with her soul-stirring ballads, her music is a rich blend of music and healing.
