Today, on January 26, we stand with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Access Health and Community believes January 26 is not a date to celebrate.

As we reflect on the history of this day, we recognise it as a time of mourning and reflection, and acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonisation.

We’re committed to listening and learning from First Nations communities – as we continue our journey towards truth-telling as part of Reconciliation.

One of the ways we're taking action is supporting our staff to take an alternative day off work, instead of the public holiday.

You can learn more about our commitment to Reconciliation here: https://loom.ly/wphf2wk
