Stoddart Celebrates National Reconciliation Week 2022

Stoddart is celebrating National Reconciliation Week 2022.

Reconciliation Australia provides a succinct explanation of this year’s NRW theme:

“The National Reconciliation Week 2022 theme, “Be Brave. Make Change.” is a challenge to individuals, families, communities, organisations and government—to Be Brave and tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.

National Reconciliation Week—27 May to 3 June—is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

This year’s theme builds on the 2021 theme which encouraged us all to greater action on reconciliation and we saw unprecedented response to our suggested actions for everyday and for braver action.

This year we are asking everyone to make change beginning with brave actions in their daily lives – where they live, work, play and socialise.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey that reminds us that while generations of Australians have fought hard for meaningful changes like these, future gains are likely to take just as much, if not more, effort.”

In July 2021, Stoddart released the company’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) – developed with a commitment by the Directors and Management of Stoddart to advance reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. Our 2022 RAP is on the way, reviewing the actionable steps in our 2021 document and determining actionable steps for 2022 onwards.
