May 28 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm UTC+10

Please join us on Bindal and Wulgarukaba Land (Townsville) on Tuesday, 3 June 2025 as we celebrate the recent launch of CQUniversity’s new Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and continue our shared journey toward reconciliation by strengthening relationships, respect and trust between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and non-Indigenous peoples.

To mark this occasion, CQUniversity Townsville Campus invites you to join us for a free sausage sizzle lunch and to hear from First Nations academic Dr Gary Fry and other speakers, as they reflect on the ongoing connection between past, present and future.
