NRW Breakfast

THE LARGEST NRW BREAKFAST IN AUSTRALIA

Every year Reconciliation SA hosts a breakfast on the first day of National Reconciliation Week. Now the largest reconciliation breakfast in Australia, this year’s event will attract 3,000 guests from different communities across the state. Our breakfast is an opportunity to hear from state and national leaders about efforts to strengthen reconciliation across the country as well as celebrate our achievements and thank our supporters. It is an educational and insightful event that serves to motivate and inspire its participants to grow their reconciliation work within their communities. Our event program includes speeches and curated entertainment including musicians, dancers and visual artists. Guests are also encouraged to participate in a Smoking Ceremony and peruse the marketplace of local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned businesses.

Testimonials from our Breakfast Sponsors in 2025

As Principal Sponsor of the Reconciliation SA Breakfast, We Create Print Deliver was proud to support an event that brought South Australia’s Government, not-for-profit, recreation, sport, and community leaders together for meaningful connection and conversation. The partnership highlighted the importance of collaboration, inclusion, and wellbeing — values we live and create by every day. We saw first-hand how powerful this event can be in building relationships and inspiring action. It allowed for the opportunity to continue to create impact — engaging with key decision-makers, amplifying community conversations, and helping shape a stronger, more connected South Australia.

NRW Breakfast 2025

Bridging Now to Next

The National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future.

Bridging Now to Next urges us to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.

At a time when Australia faces uncertainty in its reconciliation journey, this theme calls on all Australians to step forward together.

In the #NRW2025 theme artwork created by Kalkadoon woman Bree Buttenshaw, native plants − known for regenerating after fire and thriving through adversity − symbolise our collective strength and the possibilities of renewal. This is a time for growth, reflection, and commitment to walking together.

NRW Breakfast 2024

Now More Than Ever
