Across the country, there has been a noticeable quietening of national conversations around First Nations justice, recognition, and self-determination. Now is a crucial time to renew our shared commitment and strengthen support. Many Australians are uncertain about the path ahead for diversity and inclusion and what that means for First Nations communities in and beyond the workplace.
 
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.
