Local Government Memberships

Reconciliation Victoria launched its Local Government Membership program in May 2026.

Victorian Local Governments have long been leaders in reconciliation. And Reconciliation Victoria has a long history of working to support and recognise Local Government leading practice through the Maggolee Program and Hart Awards.

Through our new membership program we are providing additional engagement and support for Local Government including:

· advice on RAPs/First Nations policies and initiatives from First Nations consultants
· peer learning opportunities
· staff training opportunities

The program has two levels to cater to organisations at different stages in their reconciliation journey:
