Today, on Mabo Day, we reflect on a moment that reshaped Australia’s understanding of justice, history, and connection to Country.![]()
![]()
We honour Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose determination and courage helped overturn the doctrine of terra nullius and led to the recognition of Native Title in Australia. His legacy extends far beyond a landmark legal decision, it represents the enduring strength of First Nations peoples and their deep and continuing connection to land, waters, culture, and community.![]()
![]()
Mabo Day is an opportunity to acknowledge the truth of our shared history, recognise the contributions and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and recommit ourselves to meaningful reconciliation.![]()
![]()
As we commemorate this important day, we pay our respects to First Nations peoples past and present, and reflect on the work that remains to build a more just, respectful, and inclusive Australia for future generations.![]()

Street Law is ALL IN for Reconciliation Week!![]()
![]()
This year’s theme, All In, is a call for all Australians to commit to reconciliation not just during this week, but every day. Reconciliation is not a spectator sport. It requires all of us to step forward, listen, learn, and take meaningful action.![]()
![]()
For too long, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have carried the burden of advocating for justice, recognition, and change. Real reconciliation cannot happen passively, and it cannot happen without collective responsibility.![]()
![]()
At Street Law, we drive change for First Nations peoples through our free, high-quality, culturally appropriate and accessible legal services. Through both individual and systemic advocacy, we provide a holistic service that addresses the legal, social, welfare and health barriers that can contribute to and perpetuate homelessness.![]()
