Reconciliation Week Yarn

You’re invited 

Join us for a morning tea with our community partner, Red Dust Role Models.

Evans & Partners is proud to support Red Dust’s yarn for National Reconciliation Week 2025. Working together with Red Dust Role Models brings the commitments in our Reconciliation Action Plan to life. 

Did you know? 

The dates for NRW remain the same each year; 27 May to 3 June. These dates commemorate two significant milestones in the reconciliation journey – the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision respectively. 

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

We all have a role to play when it comes to reconciliation, and in playing our part we collectively build relationships and communities that value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures, and futures. 

This year’s theme, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future. 

At a time when Australia faces uncertainty in its reconciliation journey, this theme calls on all Australians to step forward together. 

Bridging Now to Next urges us to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us. 

In the #NRW2025 theme artwork created by Kalkadoon woman Bree Buttenshaw, native plants − which are known for regenerating after fire and thriving through adversity − symbolise our collective strength and the possibilities of renewal. This is a time for growth, reflection, and commitment to walking together. 

Australia’s history of reconciliation is not a linear one, we have made great strides and experienced disappointing setbacks. 

Twenty-five years ago, Corroboree 2000 brought together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous leaders in a historic call for reconciliation. We continue that work in 2025, inviting all Australians to join us in Bridging Now to Next – building a more united and respectful nation.
