RBWH commemorates National Reconciliation Week

RBWH Executive and staff created a Sea of Hands as part of National Reconciliation Week, which ran from 27 May and 3 June. The Sea of Hands is Australia’s symbol for reconciliation – the mutual commitment to one another’s wellbeing and a way for all Australians to engage in reconciliation. The theme of this year’s Reconciliation Week was ‘be a voice for generations’, encouraging all Australians to act for today for a reconciled tomorrow.

Reconciliation Week is important for RBWH to commemorate as the hospital continues its journey toward health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and explore how we, as a hospital and as individuals, can contribute to achieving shared reconciliation in Australia.
