Seeking new members for our Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group
Hume City Council established a Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group (RAPWG) in June 2019 and is now seeking further members to join the group.

Last year, the Victorian government announced it would establish a Truth and Justice process to “recognise historic wrongs and address ongoing injustices for Aboriginal Victorians”.
Since then, the government has worked in partnership with the First Peoples’ Assembly to figure out how that process would operate.
