Design
The idea behind the design
The motif depicts people (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) working together, connected, creating pathways to achieve equality.
As people and communities work together, creating and fulfilling opportunities the gap between them closes and they are drawn closer together.
Aboriginal communities
Torres Strait Islander communities
The colour palette is inspired by the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and the Australian landscape.
