Taking the next steps toward reconciliation

To achieve justice and equality for all Australians, Amnesty International is committed to reconciliation — including acknowledging the wrongs of the past, addressing current inequalities and working together for a better future.

Amnesty is honoured to work closely with the oldest continuing culture in the world. We value the relationships we have with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Australia.

To be an effective human rights organisation, we’ll continue working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in their fight for justice in order to achieve meaningful reconciliation among all Australians. Our Reconciliation Action Plan 2024-2026 is one of the many mechanisms we’ll use to progress reconciliation efforts within our organisation, our movement and across the nation.

“Reconciliation is intrinsic to our organisation as it speaks to the very core of our work championing human rights for everyone. Our futures are bound together and as such we are committed to truth, justice and reconciliation for all Australians”. – Samantha Klintworth, National Director, Amnesty International Australia
