JANUARY 26 IS MORE THAN A DAY OFF

Australia Day is not just about a day off to celebrate. It means than just a long weekend.


It is crucial to acknowledge that for First Nations people, this day carries a somber reminder of decades of dispossession, violence, and exploitation.


Discussions about changing the date are gaining momentum. However actual change will take some time. This is why TARA is embracing the #changeitourselves movement.


We should have the opportunity to celebrate our beautiful country and diverse people on a day that unifies our community instead of dividing it.


The Autistic Realm Australia stands with our members who choose to make a commitment towards real reconciliation.

We at TARA acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country, and that operation and administration of this organisation takes place on the stolen, unceded land of First Nations.

We recognise the Traditional Owners' continuing connection to land, waters and culture and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Many thanks to Diedre from Blackfulla Revolution for their support and advice on our acknowledgement statement.

As marginalised minorities with a different story, but both with a long history of violence and oppression perpetrated against us, we stand together.
