At Programmed, National Reconciliation Week is a time to pause, reflect, and reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation. It’s an opportunity to deepen our understanding of Australia’s shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to strengthen respectful relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians.
Reconciliation is an ongoing journey. It requires listening, learning and taking action every day. It is a shared responsibility, and meaningful progress comes from the choices we make across our workplaces and communities.
2026 Theme - All In
This year’s theme, All In, is a powerful call for all Australians to commit to reconciliation, not just during this week but every day. It reminds us that real change requires active participation. We all have a role to play. Advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights is not passive, and it is not the responsibility of First Nations people alone. Reconciliation cannot happen without all of us.
The #NRW2026 campaign was developed in collaboration with Carbon Creative, a First Nations-owned marketing and creative agency. The artwork, created by Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey, represents people from all walks of life coming together to drive positive change.
Australia’s reconciliation journey has not been linear. There have been moments of progress and moments of setback. National Reconciliation Week encourages us to keep moving forward, maintain momentum, and play our part in building a more united and respectful nation.
