Message from the Premier
The Queensland Government is committed to reconciliation between
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders and non-
Indigenous Queenslanders. The 2019 Queensland Reconciliation
Awards provide an opportunity to recognise the remarkable
advancements that are being made towards reconciliation across
the state.
Since 2003, more than 150 organisations have been recognised
and rewarded for their hard work and commitment to furthering
reconciliation.
Throughout Queensland there are countless community groups,
educational institutions, businesses and other organisations who
recognise the importance of reconciliation, are passionate about
building a more outward-looking, inclusive and tolerant society and
are dedicated to working towards this goal every day.
I encourage you to recognise the hard work and commitment of these
organisations by nominating them for a Queensland Reconciliation
Award. Through acknowledging these programs we create positive
change, foster respect and encourage unity between our nation’s
First People and other Australians.
The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MP
Premier of Queensland
Minister for Trade
3Message from the Ambassador
As a longstanding Ambassador of the Queensland Reconciliation
Awards, I’m thrilled to once again learn about the inspiring
initiatives and programs fostering reconciliation and creating
positive change in our communities.
We all share the same vision of a fair and equitable Queensland.
The workplaces, schools and community groups who nurture
reconciliation are making that vision a reality and should be an
inspiration for us all.
Gaining a deeper understanding of the role reconciliation plays
in Australia is everyone’s responsibility and the Queensland
Reconciliation Awards is a great platform to deliver that
knowledge. Since the first Queensland Reconciliation Award
was presented in 2003, we’ve seen a raft of highly creative and
engaging initiatives be acknowledged, giving us the opportunity
to learn more about the importance of reconciliation and the
enormous impact it can have, creating a future where all cultures
are valued and respected equally.
Thank you for your support of the 2019 Queensland Reconciliation
Awards. I encourage you to nominate a business, educational
institution, organisation or partnership advocating for
reconciliation, change and the betterment of our communities.
I look forward to again being part of this incredible program
and learning more about the efforts of Queenslanders
advancing reconciliation.
Johnathan Thurston
Queensland Reconciliation Awards Ambassador
