Today, on Mabo Day, we commemorate the legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo and the historic decision that recognised the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to our lands and waters.

💬 "Mabo Day is about honouring those who came before us, those who've blazed the trail for us and empowering the next generation to be our leaders of tomorrow" says AIDA's newest Board Member, Dr Nathan Passi.

Dr Passi is a proud Torres Strait Islander doctor and descendant of the Passi family of Mer (Murray Island), connected to the landmark Mabo decision. He shares what Mabo Day means to him and encourages us to take the time to honour our histories.

Mabo Day is a time to reflect on our journeys of truth-telling, strength and the ongoing fight for justice, self-determination and equity for our Communities.

Today we commemorate and honour the strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander activists and Communities who spent a decade campaigning for change.

With around 90% of Australians voting yes, the 1967 Referendum stands as one of the most powerful movements in our history. Today, we honour that legacy and continue the journey toward justice, recognition, and equity.

"Am I allowed to go?"

This was the first question Associate Member and ally, Dr Nicole Liesis, asked before attending her first AIDA Conference.

"Yes, anyone's allowed to come along! [...] Standing shoulder to shoulder with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is such a privilege, it means a lot to me."

Reconciliation asks all of us to step forward.

This National Reconciliation Week is a reminder that advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights is not passive work. Progress happens when people come together, take responsibility, and commit to learning alongside one another.

Be all in. Join us at the AIDA Conference this September: bit.ly/AIDAConference26
