Local Reconciliation Groups

A great way to really get involved in local reconciliation is to join and attend events organised by your local reconciliation group (LRGs). There are currently 27 registered Local Reconciliation Groups throughout NSW. Most LRG’s meet regularly, create and host a range of events such as workshops, concerts, walks, tours and cultural gatherings.

Many groups work with local government, schools and early learning. They have invaluable information about local Indigenous culture and history and are happy to share it. Reconciliation NSW supports the Local Reconciliation Group network with quarterly network meetings, newsletters, special event funding opportunities and public liability insurance.
