Reading list
Reconciliation Australia was established in 2001 and is the national body for reconciliation in the nation. We are an independent not-for-profit organisation that promotes and facilitates reconciliation by building relationships, respect and trust between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Our vision of national reconciliation is based on five critical dimensions: race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity and historical acceptance. These five dimensions do not exist in isolation; they are inter-related and Australia can only achieve full reconciliation if we progress in all five.
Ms Michelle Deshong draws connection to Kuku Yulanji nation in North Queensland. She is the CEO of the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute. Michelle will share insight into local and global perspectives of Indigenous Governance excellence. the first state or territory to recognise Reconciliation Day
The Indigenous Governance Toolkit is an online resource developed for Indigenous nations, communities, individuals and organisations searching for information to build their governance.
It covers all the basics – your rules, values, culture, membership, leadership, and decision making – and has many examples of ideas that work from other groups, tools to help you get started, and useful guidance to sustain your efforts.
