SUPPORT THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THIS DAY

Our Survival Day is fully funded and organised by the community

This grassroots and community event is only made possible with the incredible support, donations and sponsorship of many local businesses. Our planning team are all volunteers, coming together via the collective values they share with each other, and those of Our Songlines. 

All funds collected are used to bring this event to life.

    "On this day the white people are rejoicing, but we, as Aborigines, have no reason to rejoice on Australia’s 150th birthday. Our purpose in meeting today is to bring home to the white people of Australia the frightful conditions in which the native Aborigines of this continent live. This land belonged to our forefathers 150 years ago, but today we are pushed further and further into the background."

    — Uncle Jack Patten

    “The people who stood up and supported Adam Goodes and said, "No more," they are better than that. The people who marched across the bridge for reconciliation, they are better than that. The people who supported Kevin Rudd when he said sorry to the Stolen Generations, they are better than that. My children and their non-Indigenous friends are better than that. My wife who is not Indigenous is better than that.”

    — Stan Grant, author of Australia Day

    “Human rights activists stand up for the rights of everyone, everywhere. When we learn that someone’s rights have been abused, we jump into action. But sometimes, despite our best intentions, we may actually do harm without realising it, because we have not taken the time to be a genuine ally.

    It is crucial that we understand how our presence impacts the people and communities we support.”
