National Reconciliation Week Memoirs Online - June Oscar AO

Join us online for an evening of truth-telling, leadership, and deep reflection as we welcome June Oscar AO to the Reconciliation Memoirs stage.

A proud Bunuba woman from Fitzroy Crossing, June Oscar AO is an Indigenous rights advocate, community health and welfare champion, filmmaker, and former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission (2017–2025). Her leadership continues to influence national conversations on justice, women’s rights, language revitalisation, and community empowerment.

Streaming live from Hackett Hall, this in‑depth conversation will explore June’s life’s work, the challenges and triumphs of advocacy, and her vision for the future of reconciliation in Western Australia. Her story contributes to a powerful written legacy crafted by author Victoria Laurie, whose series of five memoirs is becoming an essential record of the reconciliation movement in WA.

Reconciliation Memoirs is an enduring legacy project that began during National Reconciliation Week 2022. Over five years, the series has honoured the voices of influential reconciliation leaders whose life stories have shaped Western Australia’s reconciliation movement — Fred Chaney AO (2022), Dr Richard Walley OAM (2023), Carol Innes AM (2024), and Father of Reconciliation Patrick Dodson (2025).
