The National Centre for Reconciliation, Truth, and Justice is delighted to be partnering with BHP on our important truth-telling work, which is being led by Professor Emma-Jaye Gavin, PhD. One of the key signposts from the 2023 Voice Referendum is the critical importance of truth-telling. This week, our Director Professor Andrew Gunstone, attended BHP’s Inaugural Social Investment Partner Symposium in Naarm (Melbourne). He spoke about work of the National Centre and the importance of reconciliation and truth-telling in the post-Referendum environment. Thanks to BHP, particularly Jen Dawson and Kat Murphy, for organising this fantastic Symposium, which provided a wonderful opportunity to engage with extraordinary organisations undertaking exceptional work across Indigenous Knowledges, health and wellbeing, education, and reconciliation.
