"Reconciliation Week is held every year from 27th May until 3rd June. The week marks two important dates – the anniversary of the 1967 referendum (27th May 1967) and the anniversary of the Mabo land rights decision (3rd June 1992). The week commemorates the gains made for Indigenous rights and reconciliation throughout Australia’s history, and provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the work that still needs to be done."
