To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and National Harmony Day (March 21),  this campaign invites every Australian to reject racism and deepen their connections with the long and impressive story of the first Australians.

  • What do you know about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture?
  • What can Australians do to understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and history better?
  • Why should Australian’s be proud of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and history?
  • What is an everyday act that you can do to build understanding with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, culture and the broader community?

Imagine if – just by valuing and celebrating the inspiring achievements and practices of the world’s oldest living cultures and calling out racism whenever it occurs – we could literally save lives.

Belinda Duarte, CEO, Culture is Life, Wotjobaluk.

The national helpline for First Nations people is fielding a record number of calls, with many who reach out telling crisis counsellors that they are experiencing racism and abuse as a result of the Indigenous Voice to parliament debate.

13YARN national program manager Aunty Marj Anderson said that crisis workers were reporting that their callers felt unsafe and were struggling to “carry the load”.

“Racism, and the nastiness with the debate is really impacting on an already traumatised community,” Anderson said.

“In the past three weeks especially, with the cultural load from the debate, people are telling us there is a rise in racism they are experiencing..."

❤️ If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 000 immediately. For more help, call 13YARN on 13 92 76.
