We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging and to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities who have cared for this land and all that is part of it for countless generations. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded.

ANTaR Queensland is affiliated with the national and other state ANTaR organisations. We undertake advocacy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ justice and rights, work to overturn structural violence, support community outreach and contribute to ‘paying the rent’.

Yoorrook Justice Commission

Reconciliation Australia’s song this year is Shane Howard and Goanna’s iconic Solid Rock

For National Reconciliation Week 2025, Reconciliation Australia called on choirs across the country to raise their Voices for Reconciliation once again. The song this year was Shane Howard and Goanna’s iconic Solid Rock, and the response was incredible. Here is just a few of the choirs we heard from. Reconciliation Australia thanks Shane Howard, Goanna Arts and Mushroom Music Publishing for their support of Voices for Reconciliation.

See a video of a collection of choirs HERE

Also a very good version by SING ON THE BALAN HERE

Supporting Justice and Solidarity – Your Continued Support Matters

At ANTaR QLD, we believe that standing with First Peoples in their pursuit of justice and equality does not only mean working to change institutional policies and practices. It’s also about responding together to the suffering that often results from injustice and inequality. True relationship means not only reaching out and offering support, but also celebrating the connections we share.

Given the current challenges posed by the cost of living, it is more important than ever to come together in solidarity and support one another.

In this spirit, ANTaR QLD has been offering direct support and collaborating with other organisations to make a broader impact. We’ve been actively reaching out to community members, linking with other organisations, supporting Sorry Business, preparing meals, assisting with food drops, distributing fresh food, and helping distribute over 120 Christmas hampers with MOB 23.

We also continue to work to support institutional change, for example, around youth incarceration and keeping young people out of the prison system, and to increase knowledge and understanding of First Nations peoples’ culture, history and contemporary circumstances through holding or supporting events, the Sea of Hands, and engaging with the school system.

Your support for ANTaR QLD will enable us to continue this work. Since we are now a registered charity any donation over $2 that you give is tax-deductible.

Donating and or updating your membership is now very easy. Simply click on Support Our Work and update membership and / or donate.
