🤎 MABO DAY 🤎

Today, we recognise Mabo Day and honour the life, courage and legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose determination helped change the course of Australian history.

The landmark Mabo v Queensland (No 2) decision overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius and recognised the enduring connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to their lands, waters and cultures.

Mabo Day is an opportunity to reflect on the strength of First Nations peoples, the importance of truth-telling, and the ongoing journey towards justice, recognition and self-determination.

At CQID, we acknowledge the significance of this day and the generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have advocated for the recognition of their rights, cultures and connection to Country.

Towards the end of Reconciliation Week, we remain committed to walking alongside communities, strengthening culture, supporting self-determination and creating opportunities for future generations.

🩵🩷💚We’re ALL IN for RECONCILIATION 🩵🩷💚

National Reconciliation Week is an opportunity for all Australians to come together in the spirit of respect, understanding and meaningful action.

This year’s theme, ALL IN for RECONCILIATION, encourages all of us to stand together and play our part in building stronger relationships, celebrating culture and creating a more united future for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.

At CQID, reconciliation is reflected through connection, community, cultural respect and walking alongside our mob every day.

Because reconciliation is not just a conversation for one week. It is something we all contribute to through our actions, voices and commitment to each other.

24/04/2026

Today we came together as a CQID family to honour the life of Ursula Barber, a proud Iman and Bidjara woman, on the first anniversary of her passing.

Surrounded by colleagues, community and Ursula’s family, we shared a morning tea and unveiled a memorial plaque in recognition of the lasting impact she made on all of us.

Ursula joined CQID in 2018 and dedicated seven years to walking alongside our families and community. She carried herself with quiet strength, deep integrity and a genuine care for others. Ursula had a powerful presence. She made people feel safe, heard and supported, often without needing to say much at all.

Aunty Heather spoke of Ursula as a strong Iman and Bidjara woman, deeply proud of her culture and her tribe. She shared how much Ursula loved being on Country, and the deep connection and strength she carried whenever she was there.

Her healing nature gave hope to so many, and her light-hearted spirit brought warmth to those around her. Even in her own hardest moments, Ursula remained focused on others, always thinking of her family and those she supported.

Ursula turned her own life experiences into compassion, understanding and healing for others. That is a legacy that cannot be measured, but one that will always be felt.

Today’s unveiling was more than a moment of remembrance. It was a reflection of the strength, kindness and quiet light Ursula brought into this place and into our lives.

You are remembered. You are missed. ❤️💛🖤
