When the truth of our history is told, we can all walk together. Are we ready? #CultureIsLife #WalkingTogether2020 #MyAustralianDream

My Australian Dream Campaign places Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at the centre of the conversation and extends the invitation to all Australians to share their hopes and dreams for Australia. The ‘My Australian Dream’ campaign extends the impact of the Adam Goodes and Stan Grant’s award-winning film and story – The Australian Dream. It calls for all Australians to watch the film, engage in critical conversations, raise awareness and call for action towards an Australian Dream we can all be proud of. “This film tells the story of Adam Goodes: but it also tells a bigger story of how we find ourselves. It is not a story of Australia; it is a story of humanity. How a nation refuses to look away and asks how it can be better.” Stan Grant, The Australian Dream film.

My Australian dream would be that every Australian that lives on this beautiful country of ours actually understands and knows what it means to be an Aboriginal person. We are many group of people, that we all stand for the same thing.

Dad worked hard. His dream was to give his family the opportunity to live their best life. He’s the man who I am today. He showed me what love is all about, and what it means to be connected to your family, your culture…. He was the rock for his family. And that’s where I feel that I’ve played a role within my own family. I’ve sort of showed them that everything is possible if you put your mind to it.
