ALL IN for National Reconciliation Week 2026

To celebrate National Reconciliation Week this year, ESA proudly joined the Voices for Reconciliation movement, coming together as a choir to perform ‘Beds Are Burning’ by Midnight Oil.
Inspired by the handback of Uluru–Kata Tjuta to the Anangu people, this song remains a powerful call to know and understand our shared history, and commit to a more just, equitable and reconciled future.
