Barwon Water staff Walk for Truth in support of Reconciliation

20 Jun 2025

Barwon Water staff joined the Yoorrook Justice Commission’s Walk for Truth last week.

As Victoria’s first formal truth-telling process, the Yoorrook Justice Commission has heard powerful truths from people right across the state, giving evidence on the impacts of colonisation, including systemic injustice, as well as the strength, resistance, and achievements of First Nations peoples.

The Walk for Truth is a powerful journey led by Yoorrook Deputy Chair Commissioner Travis Lovett, a Kerrupmara Gunditjmara man. The walk began on Sunday 25 May, on Gunditjmara Country (Portland) and finished at Parliament House on Wednesday 18 June, where the commission delivered its final reports.

Barwon Water proudly supported the Walk for Truth as part of our broader commitment to Reconciliation. Our participation in the event aligns with the commitments in our Reconciliation Action Plan and our broader efforts to foster truth-telling and respectful relationships.
