Reconciliation Mo r e t h a n a wo r d . Re c o n c i l i a t i o n t a ke s a c t i o n .

National Reconciliation Week was held from the 27 May to the 3 June 2021 and to celebrate WSA held an event for our employees to learn more about Aboriginal culture. Our event kicked off with an official Acknowledgement of Country delivered by Uncle Harry Callaghan from Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land Council. Our employees participated in traditional Aboriginal weaving, painting and Aboriginal tucker tasting!

Respecting the region’s Aboriginal heritage and acknowledging the rich contribution of the Carbrogal people of the Dharug Nation as the traditional owners of the airport site is important to Western Sydney Airport. Aboriginal history is Australia’s history and we all have a shared responsibility to respect it and ensure it is never forgotten. Reconciliation Australia’s theme for 2021, is ‘More than a word. Reconciliation takes action’, They are urging the reconciliation movement towards braver and more impactful action. At WSA, we support Australia’s Reconciliation journey of 30 years and will aim in our own journey to be bold and brave in our reconciliation actions.
