STAR Community Services

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. This fits with STAR’s first Reconciliation Plan that commitments to continuing to build friendships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, engage in yarning circles and embracing responsibilities under the new Aged Care Act. We recognise that aged care must not only meet clinical needs but also promotes cultural inclusion and equity, especially with seniors whose unique connection to land, family and community deserve recognition and respect. Reconciliation Australia’s vision of a just, equitable and reconciled nation aligns with STAR’s goal of fostering care environments where First Nation’s Elders feel safe, respected and understood. STAR is looking forward to releasing its Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan very soon. Artwork by Nicky Karklis-Jones.
