Celebrating 30 Years of Cape York Partnership

Cape York Partnership has celebrated 30 years of Indigenous-led reform with a landmark gala dinner at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, bringing together more than 200 Cape York leaders, families, students, partners, supporters and dignitaries to honour the past and set a clear course for the decades ahead. The 30th Anniversary Gala, held on Tuesday 18 November 2025 in the gallery’s Naala Badu building, marked three decades since Cape York Elders and community leaders began advancing a reform agenda grounded in a simple, demanding truth: when responsibility is matched with real opportunity, communities build lasting capability.
