National Reconciliation Week at CICM ASM 2026


It was truly “All In” during National Reconciliation Week (NRW) at ASM 2026 in Sydney last week, held on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

Observed during NRW each year, this week invites all Australians to reflect on our shared histories, cultures, and achievements—and to consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation in a meaningful way.

Aligned with our NRW theme, “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,” the CICM heart took pride of place at the centre of one of the two commissioned artworks, brought to life over two days in the Exhibition Hall. One piece spoke directly to the heart of the theme, while the other honoured the past, acknowledged where we stand today, and encouraged reflection on the future we want to create together.

Through pathways and meeting places, the artworks symbolised connection, shared experiences, and the many journeys that bring people together.

Delegates were invited to engage with the artworks—contributing their own brushstrokes and becoming part of a shared experience.

The College sincerely thanks Jason and Trevor from Dalmarri for their storytelling and cultural guidance, as well as everyone who took the time to view and help create these meaningful pieces.
