Reconciliation Australia was established in 2001 as the national expert body on reconciliation in Australia. Reconciliation Australia was established following the disbandment of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation (CAR) in 2000.
It is a Commonwealth constituted not-for-profit organisation.
The object of Reconciliation Australia is to give effect to the Australian Declaration Towards Reconciliation (see above) through building an equitable, just and reconciled nation, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples participate equally and equitably in all areas of life, experience respectful relationships and have their history accepted in our nation’s story
