National Reconciliation Week 2026!

As we begin National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2026, observed annually from May 27 to June 3, we reflect on this year’s theme: All In

All In calls for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

All In demonstrates that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change. These dates commemorate two major milestones in Australia's reconciliation journey:

27 May: Marks the anniversary of the 1967 referendum, where over 90% of Australians voted to include Indigenous Australians in the census and allow the government to create laws for them.

3 June: Marks the historic 1992 High Court Mabo decision, which recognised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the land.

To find or register an event near you, visit the Reconciliation Australia Events Calendar. https://www.reconciliation.org.au/event/reconciliation-week-yarn-2026/

- Resources: You can download official Reconciliation Australia Posters & Resources to display at your school, home, or workplace.

- Wear it Yellow: Support the movement by participating in "Wear it Yellow," which raises funds and awareness for First Nations children's education and community development.

DPV Health recently launched our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). Our RAP sets clear actions to strengthen accountability, grow our Aboriginal workforce, deepen partnerships and deliver culturally safe care, every day, at every site.

Last week, DPV Health proudly hosted a celebratory brunch at Richards Restaurant, Kangan Institute to honour our amazing volunteers for National Volunteer Week!

Our CEO, Don Tidbury, spoke about the important role our volunteers play and the positive impact they have on our community every day..

National Volunteer Week, Australia’s largest celebration of volunteering, shines a light on how volunteering connects and strengthens our communities. This year’s theme ‘Your Year to Volunteer’, honours the contributions of volunteers but also encourages people across Australia to make 2026 the year they get involved and make a difference.'

Let's celebrate the spirit of connection and the extraordinary contributions of volunteers who help create thriving, inclusive communities every day!

Warning – For Cultural Safety Reasons Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this broadcast, discussion or website content may contain images, names or voices of deceased person; this information may cause harm or distress.

______________________________________________________________________

Today we acknowledge National Sorry Day, a time to pause, remember and reflect on Australia’s history, and on the pain caused by the forced removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from their families. Between 1910 and the 1970s,

Thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were forcibly removed from their families under the past government policies, with churches and welfare agencies. The exact number of children may never be known. These actions caused profound harm, breaking connections to family, kinship, culture, language and lore, and creating lasting impacts on the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that continue today.

26 May 1997, the Bringing Them Home report was tabled in Parliament. It was a significant moment of truth-telling, giving voice to the experiences of Stolen Generations survivors and acknowledging the harm they endured. Nearly 30 years later, some recommendations remain unfulfilled.

On the same day in 2017, the Uluru Statement from the Heart was issued, a generous and powerful invitation to walk together toward constitutional change and meaningful reform. Its message continues to guide national conversations about recognition and justice. We honour reconciliation through Dadirri (deep listening & reflection) and honour the strength of survivors. For many, this day carries sorrow as well as remembrance.

Let’s take time today to listen, reflect and stand in solidarity.

DPV Health proudly celebrates our incredible volunteers during National Volunteer Week 2026.

This year, “Your Year to Volunteer” honours the contributions of volunteers and invites people across Australia to make 2026 a year of meaningful involvement, through volunteering in ways that work for them. As the United Nations International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development, the event also recognises the vital role volunteers play in building sustainable, inclusive and connected communities.

Our volunteers are an essential part of the DPV Health family. We are deeply grateful for the time, expertise, care and goodwill they generously share, not just this week but every day of the year. Without their ongoing dedication, DPV Health could not deliver such a broad range of services and programs to our community.

This week is a moment to say thank you and to invite others to discover how volunteering can create connection, purpose and lasting positive change.

IDAHOBIT at DPV Health 🌈

On Thursday, we proudly raised the rainbow flag in Sunbury in partnership with Hume City Council and Omnia Community Health to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

It was powerful to come together as a community. We heard from our CEO, Don Tidbury, as well as our passionate Consumer Representative, Tracie M. Oldham, who both spoke about the importance of inclusion, respect, and creating safer spaces for everyone.

While days like IDAHOBIT are an opportunity to celebrate progress, they also remind us why this work must continue.

We know that LGBTIQA+ communities still experience higher rates of psychological distress and face significant barriers when accessing care. Too many people delay seeking support because they fear judgement, or because past experiences have left them feeling unsafe or misunderstood.

Our teams showed their support by dressing up in rainbow and glitter, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere in the lead up to IDAHOBIT.

At DPV Health, we are committed to changing this — by creating inclusive, respectful, and culturally safe environments where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

🗨️Because everyone deserves to access care without fear.

💝Because inclusion saves lives.

17/05/2026

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

IDAHOBIT is a global day to stand alongside LGBTIQA+ communities and to continue calling out discrimination and exclusion wherever it exists.

At DPV Health, this matters. Across our communities, 7.7% of people in Hume and 8.2% in Whittlesea self-identify as LGBTIQA+ (Source: Victorian Population Health Survey and NEPHU Population Profile).

As a Rainbow Tick Accredited Organisation, we remain committed to ensuring LGBTIQA+ people feel seen, respected and welcome when accessing our services.
