National Sorry Day

On 26 May each year, Sorry Day marks the anniversary of the tabling of the Bringing Them Home report in the Australian Parliament in 1997 and commemorates Stolen Generations survivors. The report was a landmark truth telling process, sadly almost 30 years on a number of the report’s 54 recommendations remain unmet.

Remaining Stolen Generations survivors are ageing, and many do not have access to a full and fair redress scheme, or to the records that hold keys to their stories.

National Sorry Day Bridge Walk

The Healing Foundation is proud to partner with Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Service for the return of the National Sorry Day Bridge Walk on Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country on the 23 May 2025.

Everyone is invited to join the community for the Bridge Walk, the event will include a Smoking Ceremony, Schools Banner Competition, food, entertainment and more. Please visit The Healing Foundation for more information regarding National Sorry Day.
