Reading, research and reconciliation

Explore resources that help you learn through a reconciliation lens.

National Reconciliation Week's All In theme for 2026 invites us to support reconciliation through the actions we take every day. As students, one meaningful way to begin is by engaging with First Nations perspectives in your assessments, research and professional practice.

Want to go All In with your studies and placements? Here are a few places to start.

Explore the guide

Our First Nations' knowledges library guide brings together resources to help you build your understanding of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and perspectives.

Search with intention

Check out Databases A-Z to find First Nations scholars, research, statistics and case law connected to your discipline.

Read broadly

Engaging with diverse voices in your field deepens your understanding and helps you build culturally responsive practice. Explore the library's First Nations collection to discover works across education, health, law, theology, literature, art and more.

Whether you're researching an assignment, preparing for placement or reading for personal growth, make reconciliation part of your everyday practice.
