“Without truth telling and understanding, there will be no healing and no reconciliation”, says Cathy Rendell, LEAD’s Aboriginal Workforce Development Coordinator.

Talking about Sorry Day, LEAD’s CEO Sharmily Nagarsekar said that “At LEAD every day we aspire to increase our understanding and knowledge of our shared histories and cultures. This Sorry Day we not only would like to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors but also, reflect on how we can all play a part in the healing process”.

LEAD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we gather and work on, and the land that you are on while visiting our website. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the cultures and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. A better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures develops an enriched appreciation for Australia’s cultural heritage and can lead to reconciliation. This is essential to the maturity of Australia as a nation and fundamental to the development of an Australian identity. Understanding and respect are guiding principles of LEAD’s Reconciliation Action Plan.
