The 21st of March was Harmony Day, a day to celebrate Australian multiculturalism. Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of cultural or linguistic background, united by a set of core Australian values. Harmony Day centers on the message that “Everyone belongs”, reinforcing the importance of inclusiveness to all Australians.

Harmony Day coincides with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Since 1999, more than 70,000 Harmony Day events have been held in childcare centres, schools, community groups, churches, businesses and federal, state and local government agencies across Australia and the TRB is one of them. Our staff wore orange or cultural dress to celebrate the day.
