The Nillumbik Reconciliation Group (NRG) grew out of an Advisory Committee delegated by the Nillumbik Shire Council to arrange a ceremony to promote reconciliation. It’s a volunteer-based, non-profit incorporated group committed to furthering the process of reconciliation with Australia's Indigenous peoples – the first Australians.
Based in the Shire of Nillumbik, the Group aims to cultivate and promote the issues of reconciliation in the local region. They do this through a range of strategies including:
- Providing community education about the ongoing effects of disadvantage faced by Aboriginal people.
- Raising awareness of the community about contemporary Aboriginal culture and the ancient and enduring spiritual connection to the land in Australia.
- Working for social justice for Aboriginal people today.
- Working and networking with Local Government and other groups with a similar purpose.
Up-to-date information can be found on the Nillumbik Reconciliation Group’s website.
