🖤💛❤️ Today is Mabo Day ❤️💛🖤
Today we remember Eddie Koiki Mabo and the many First Nations people who refused to back down in the fight for justice and recognition.
One of Koiki and Bonita’s daughters, Gail Mabo, shares this story:

“In 1972 my family planned to visit Mer to see my grandfather, who was very unwell. But we were refused permission to travel.
Authorities said my father was ‘not an Islander’ anymore and wouldn’t let us go.
We returned home, and weeks later, we received news that my grandfather had passed away.
My father never forgave this injustice. It fuelled his determination to fight for recognition and equality.”

This moment helped spark a 10-year fight for justice.

On 3 June 1992, that fight changed Australia forever
The Mabo decision recognised that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the traditional owners of this land
It also rejected the idea that Australia was “empty land” (terra nullius)

So what does that mean today?
It’s about truth
It’s about justice
It’s about respecting connection to Country
Mabo Day reminds us that the past matters — and so does what we do next.

💚💙🤍 It's National Reconciliation Week! 🖤💛❤️

This National Reconciliation Week, we acknowledge and stand with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. At headspace Queanbeyan, we are committed to supporting young people from all First Nations backgrounds, honouring the strength of culture, community, and connection 💪💚

The theme for Reconciliation Week in 2026 is 'All In'. This is a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day, not just for this week!

Reconciliation is not a spectator sport. It requires each of us to step away from the sidelines and take meaningful action to create change. This theme reminds us that reconciliation is not passive, and is not the sole responsibility of our First Nations community, who have carried this work for far too long.

Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.

We encourage our community to be 'All In', to listen, learn, reflect, and act, as part of an ongoing commitment to truth-telling, respe

Today, we acknowledge National Sorry Day, and stand in solidarity with all First Nations peoples and communities across the country 🖤💛❤️

At headspace Queanbeyan, we are committed to supporting young people from all our First Nations backgrounds, recognising the strength, resilience and cultures that continue to shape this country.

This year's theme, From Sorry to Action, reminds us that while acknowledging past harm is important, meaningful change comes from what we do next. Sorry signals compassion; action delivers justice.

The call is clear; we must move beyond words and into action, and this must happen now, not in another decade.

We encourage our community to mark National Sorry Day today, and to stand with our First Nations communities in ongoing truth-telling and healing 🤝
