National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week
Helping make bigger things happen in the community
National Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week
National Reconciliation Week ( NRW ) runs annually from 27 May – 3 June . This year these dates marked two significant anniversaries in Australia ’ s reconciliation journey – 50 years since the 1967 referendum , and 25 years since the historic Mabo decision .
This year for the first time , our North Rocks office held an event , at which AFL SportsReady shared with the team the importance of National Reconciliation Week and information on Indigenous Australia .
In the Support Office , Raelene Harrison ( General Manager - HR ) spoke about our journey within this space and highlighted the progress we are making particularly with Indigenous employment and Cultural Awareness training of our team .
National Reconciliation Week focuses on reconciliation , whereas NAIDOC Week is a celebration of the culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders .
In May , Officeworks celebrated NAIDOC Week for the first time . Store teams were encouraged to acknowledge these events by organising Indigenous themed activities such as crafts , morning teas , Indigenous dance performances or a Welcome to Country .
