The City of Adelaide supports National Reconciliation Week, 27 May to 3 June, commemorating the successful Referendum amending the constitution on May 27 1967, and the High Court Mabo decision on June 3 1992.

The NRW 2026 theme, "All In", calls on all Australians from all walks of life to commit to reconciliation each and every day to make change, encouraging all of us to unite for progress in advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rights. This year's artwork, pictured in the above tile, is by Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey.
