As well as the beginning of National Reconciliation Week the 27th of May was the 45th anniversary of the 1967 Referendum or the ‘Yes’ vote.

National Close the Gap Day - 22nd March 2012
This is the Reconciliation Action Plan of the National Trust of Australia (WA).
If Australia is the lucky country, why do Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a lower life expectancy than other Australians – and many people in the developing world?
Power through partnership
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are still dying 10 to 17 years younger than other Australians. The only way to close the gap in indigenous health equality within a generation is to work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
National Close the Gap Day (NCTGD) is a way for all Australians to join together and remind our political leaders of their commitments to close the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians within a generation. The focus for 2012 is on the need for genuine, meaningful partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations at all stages of health planning and delivery.
