The Bendigo Reconciliation Committee and Allyship group invites you to attend our 2025 Treaty Forum + Action Plan Launch

The Treaty Forum will feature a panel of local First Nations speakers to discuss the latest developments in the Victorian Treaty process, priorities for 2025, and what allies and organisations can do to support Treaty.

Speakers:

Jason Kelly - First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria's North-West Victoria member
Uncle Rodney Carter - CEO Djaara, and First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria's North-West Victoria member
Tash Harris - Engagement Officer, First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria's North-West Victoria

Also join us as we launch the Bendigo Reconciliation & Allyship Action Plan. Following 12 months of workshops and conversations, this five-year Action Plan will guide our future work on Truth, Treaty and Reconciliation across Bendigo and the region. Find out more about what we can do as individuals, what organisations can do, and what we can do together as First Nations peoples and their allies – and how you can become involved in 2025.
