Who are we:
Sutherland Shire Reconciliation Incorporated is a not-for-profit community organisation. Our Committee is comprised of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous volunteers working together. We are a member organisation of Reconciliation NSW and work collaboratively with community and other organisations who share our values and goals. We work closely with organisations such as: Gandangara Local Area Land Council, the Sutherland Aboriginal Education Consultative Group; the Sutherland Shire Council, the Kurranulla Aboriginal Corporation and ANSTO, a major sponsor.
What we do:
We promote Reconciliation through advocacy, events, and projects that prioritise the needs of First Nations people living in the Sutherland Shire, and that acknowledge our true shared histories and First Nations People’s ancient knowledge and culture.
Events we host or support:
Yarning Circles where we get to know a little about each other and then hold a discussion on a set topic.
Journeys into Understanding where we learn more about First Nations history and culture and current issues that impact all our communities.
