“I don’t know why diversity cannot be celebrated. What’s the problem?” - one of numerous challenging questions advanced by Aunty Pat Anderson AO in a powerful keynote address to the #WASymposium2025 in Western Sydney.

JANUARY 26
#NotADateToCelebrate
Today and every day, Welcoming Australia stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
#AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

Proud to join the #NotADateToCelebrate campaign - you can add your name to the call, too!
Jan 26 is not a date to celebrate; instead marks the beginning of land dispossession, violence & trauma for First Nations people - we’ll mark tomorrow #SurvivalDay as a Day of Mourning, not of celebration.

What a challenging few days!
This has affirmed that the work to build welcoming communities is more important than ever - even when leaders act to make it harder than ever to achieve!

So, we want to make it overwhelmingly clear - everyone deserves to belong in the community they call home.
