National Reconciliation Week: 27 May – 3 June 2024
National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 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.
The National Reconciliation Week theme for 2024, Now More Than Ever, is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will — and must — continue.
It is welcome news that the federal government will provide $100,000 to help repair Loong the Dragon, following the significant damage caused by vandals to this historic artifact at the Golden Dragon Museum in Bendigo.
The Albanese Labor Government will contribute $100,000 towards the repair of Loong the Dragon after vandals caused significant damage to the historic dragon housed at the Golden Dragon Museum in Bendigo.
The survey is quick (~5 minnutes), anonymous and for people of all backgrounds who live, work or socialise in Victoria.
Findings of the survey will identify issues our local communities care most about, and help Police develop ways to tackle them.
Police want to hear: – How you feel about safety in your local area – Your ideas to improve the work we do – How you want to engage with police and protective service officers
Make your voice count and complete the survey *before 31 May*.

To help shape the future of our state, the Victorian Government has launched the Plan for Victoria campaign to ask for ideas from multicultural Victorians to help address issues like housing affordability, jobs, infrastructure and the environment.
