About the National Walk for Truth

The Walk is led by Travis Lovett, a Kerrupmara Gunditjmara man and Executive Director of the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Truth-Telling and Dialogue.

Travis and his team are spending 39 days on Country, travelling from Melbourne on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country to the steps of Parliament House, Canberra, on Ngunnawal Country.

The goal? To call on the Australian Government to commit to a truth-telling process developed in genuine partnership with First Nations Peoples.

To look back and listen honestly to form an agreed truth about our past and present, so we can move forward together in respect and care.

Walk For Truth is a collective journey that says, with our feet and our voices, that our country needs healing. It is a shared act of listening and, ultimately, national repair.

Building momentum for First Nations Recognition and Respect

Truth-telling is the foundation of reconciliation. In 2025, we partnered with Travis and the Yoorrook Justice Commission through our impact fund and saw this power firsthand when thousands of people joined parts of Travis’s 25-day 500km Walk for Truth through Victoria from Gunditjmara Country to Melbourne/Naarm.

That walk wasn’t just about distance; it was about the stories shared and the cultural sites visited along the way, helping to highlight the findings of the Yoorrook Commission’s report ‘Truth be Told’.

The 2026 National Walk builds on that momentum, supported this time by Common Threads and grassroots community groups, who are holding events across the country in support of the Walk for Truth on 27 May.
