Australia Day can hold very different meanings for different people. For some, it’s a day of celebration. For others, it’s a day of grief, reflection, or mixed emotions.
Practising tolerance and understanding means recognising that all of these experiences are valid. Mental wellbeing is supported when we listen with openness, show compassion, and make space for perspectives that may differ from our own. Respectful conversations — and respectful silence when needed — both matter.
Today, we acknowledge the importance of empathy, cultural awareness, and care for one another.
