Reconciliation has both symbolic and practical elements. A spirit of goodwill, mutual respect and recognition of the effects of colonisation on Australia's first people are the symbolic cornerstones of the Reconciliation effort. On the practical side, working towards an improved quality of life for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly in areas such as health, education and employment is essential for achieving equity for all South Australians.

Reconciliation South Australia Incorporated is a not-for-profit organisation with a major focus on encouraging the people's movement for Reconciliation at a state level.
