Each year Reconciliation Week is celebrated from 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey:

27 May - marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum when Australians voted to remove clauses in the Australian Constitution that discriminated against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

3 June - marks the historic 1992 Mabo decision in which the High Court of Australia recognised native title - that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people held rights over their lands and survived British colonisation.
