Sunshine Coast Reconciliation Group

Our purpose: Promote an ongoing process of reconciliation within Queensland

• Facilitating and supporting mutually respectful and engaging relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Queenslanders.
• Creating an environment for greater understanding of the unique position, diversity of cultures, languages and histories of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
• Providing an improved understanding of Australian history and contemporary issues from an Indigenous Australian perspective and advocating against injustices suffered by Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
• Opportunities to support the educational and training desires of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander people.

Some activities of the SCRG include:

• Annual Coastal Walk
• Shared History forums
• Schools interaction (bursaries, graduation medals, homework clubs, special events)
• NAIDOC Day at Cotton Tree participation
• Networking with Sunshine Coast community groups
• Satchels regularly sent to remote communities and Tent Embassy (clothes and other goods)
• Facilitate the transport of blankets and bulky items to remote communities.

However, concerning inclusion and equity goals:

• Where do we go from here?
• What are our future milestones?
• How do we accomplish them?
