Why Survival Day Matters
Survival Day is not a celebration.
It is a moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonisation — impacts that continue to shape the lives of First Nations peoples today.
By learning the history, listening to lived experiences, and understanding the present-day realities, individuals and organisations can build empathy, challenge assumptions, and become informed advocates for change.
What you’ll gain from this webinar
This session is designed to support you to:
• deepen your understanding of the historical and ongoing impacts of colonisation
• learn why Survival Day is a day of truth-telling, reflection and resistance
• strengthen your ability to engage respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities
• identify practical actions you can take — personally and professionally — to stand in solidarity
• move from awareness to informed, culturally respectful action
This is not about having all the answers.
It’s about being willing to listen, learn and act.
Who should attend
This webinar is suitable for:
• individuals wanting to build cultural understanding and awareness
• organisations and teams committed to reconciliation and respectful practice
• leaders, practitioners and advocates working with or alongside Aboriginal communities
• anyone seeking to move beyond performative gestures and into meaningful action
No prior knowledge is required — just an openness to learn.
