As part of events organised for National Reconciliation Week 2022, the Parliament of NSW and Reconciliation NSW will co-present a panel discussion on this years’ Reconciliation Week theme, Be Brave. Make Change, by unpacking The Uluru Statement from the Heart.

The 2022 theme “Be Brave. Make Change” is a challenge to all Australians to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians. Framed by the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the Parliament of NSW’s second annual National Reconciliation Week Leaders in Conversation event will discuss the present situation in NSW against the goals of the reconciliation movement and dialogues of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

The panel will feature:

• City of Sydney Councillor Yvonne Weldon, who serves as Deputy Chairperson of the Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council
• Geoff Scott, a Wiradjuri man with over 30 years public sector service in Aboriginal Affairs and leadership of the Uluru Dialogues
• Greater Sydney Commission Social Commissioner Natalie Walker, founder of Inside Policy and the inaugural CEO of Supply Nation.
• Joshua Gilbert, Indigenous co-chair of Reconciliation NSW, a Woromi researcher and academic who sits on the boards for Indigenous Business Australia, KU Children’s Services and the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office.
