Today, on 26 January, we acknowledge that this date holds different meanings for many Australians and invites reflection on our shared history.
We recognise and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Nations of this land and acknowledge the ongoing impact of colonisation.
As a profession committed to health, inclusion, and respect, the APA remains committed to listening, learning, and supporting culturally safe healthcare for all Australians.
We encourage everyone to use this day to reaffirm their commitment to reconciliation, reflect and embrace the value of truth-telling as we learn from our collective history.
