Last week at BIGSOUND, we attended the Goolwal Goolwal panel - Yarning Strong: First Nations Music Industry Review. We heard from important voices about the review and what it means for First Nations music workers across the industry.

A valuable conversation about legacy, representation, cultural strength, and the next chapter for the contemporary music industry.

We want to hear from you too. If you’re a First Nations music worker, share your experience and have your say in the review.

Today is Indigenous Literacy Day!

We’re proud to have supported Oxford University Press Australia promoting their Yarning Strong series — a First Nations-authored classroom resource designed to help teachers bring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, voices and stories into primary classrooms.

The latest edition includes new and updated content reflecting contemporary conversations and milestones, including the Voice to Parliament Referendum and Treaty in Victoria.

Our work has focused on helping share the benefits of Yarning Strong with educators and highlighting the First Nations authors, educators and contributors whose knowledge and experience sit at the heart of the resource.

On Indigenous Literacy Day, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of ensuring First Nations stories are not only read, but heard, understood and valued in classrooms across Australia.

CIR attended Tourism Australia’s Stretch RAP Launch, which brought together leaders in the industry and highlighted Tourism Australia’s ongoing commitment to advancing reconciliation.

Wardandi, Wadjak, Ballardong and Wagl Keip Noongar artist Melissa Riley-Tago unveiled her artwork ‘Songlines’ and discussed how she was inspired by the connections of communities across Australia.

In 2025, CIR was engaged by Tourism Australia to support the development of their Stretch RAP, through internal and external engagement with First Nations tourism operators and leaders.

As a result, their Stretch RAP reflects a strong commitment to moving beyond intentions and delivering tangible outcomes that create greater opportunities for First Nations peoples across the tourism sector.
