The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2021 is ’More than a word, Reconciliation takes action’. It recognises that many of us are aware of the issues, but that is not enough. For Reconciliation, we need to take brave and impactful action.
To help us understand what that action might be, today we bring you a conversation with Ms Pat Turner AM. Her long and distinguished career in public and community service includes the renegotiation of the Closing the Gap initiative which resulted in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. For Pat, understanding the difference between the two is the key to understanding the brave and impactful action that Reconciliation requires. Pat is currently the CEO of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation, and the Lead Convenor of the Coalition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Peak Organisations.
