These Awards recognise Victorian initiatives that contribute to local reconciliation outcomes. Finalists include initiatives that demonstrate Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people working together, and initiatives that have contributed to building relationships, respect and understanding.
Winners will each receive a prize. The community group winner and the schools and early years winner will also be awarded $1000 to support their reconciliation initiatives.
