Establishment of
National Sorry Day
In response to the Bringing Them Home
report, the 昀椀rst Na琀椀onal Sorry Day was
observed on May 26, 1998.
It was seen as a pivotal moment for
Australians to express regret and solidarity
with the Indigenous communi琀椀es and to
acknowledge the su昀昀ering caused by past
government policies.
Na琀椀onal Sorry Day was established
through grassroots movements and was
quickly embraced by various communi琀椀es,
organisa琀椀ons, and government bodies
across the country.
