Wormald

As we mark National Reconciliation Week, we're sharing the story behind Wormald’s Indigenous logo and what it represents. Created as part of our commitment to reconciliation and inclusion, the design brings together the iconic Wormald "W" with colours inspired by the Aboriginal flag and patterns reminiscent of traditional Aboriginal artwork. Woven throughout the design is a swirl of coloured dots, symbolising the casting of a net through time to connect the past with the present. More than a logo, it serves as a visual representation of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and our focus on building stronger relationships and creating opportunities for Australia’s First Nations Peoples. #NationalReconciliationWeek #RAP #Wormald #Respect #Community #FirstNations

Wormald’s scholarship program continues to make a meaningful impact at La Trobe University, supporting its second recipient in pursuing their academic goals. As we mark National Reconciliation Week (May 27 - June 3), the initiative aligns with Wormald’s Reconciliation Action Plan - expanding access to education and creating opportunities and pathways for Australia’s First Nations Peoples. This year’s recipient, Lillian Smith, an Indigenous student from Tasmania studying Biological Sciences, is using the scholarship to ease financial pressure and focus on building a future in science. “Receiving the scholarship not only relieved financial stress but showed that others believe in me and my future,” said Lillian.

National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering, recognising the people who dedicate their time to helping others. Held from May 18-24, this year’s theme, “Your Year to Volunteer”, encourages more Australians to get involved.
