The 2022 National RAP Conference is a unique opportunity for RAP members, policymakers, academics, and community leaders to connect and be brave in their commitments to reconciliation.
Brave Together draws on the National Reconciliation Week 2022 theme Be Brave. Make Change. The theme challenges us all to continue the unfinished work of reconciliation.
Since the Reconciliation Action Plan program launched 15 years ago, the network has grown to over 2000 organisations impacting close to 4 million people in Australia every day.
Our RAP partners comprise a vast community and collaborative effort to take Australia forward into a just, equitable and reconciled future.

The conference program features two-days of plenaries and breakout sessions designed to inspire.
