About the artwork: The artwork represents PM&C’s role as the centre of government, touching the lives of all Australians whether here or abroad. The circles represents unity and truth telling, two way communication and walking together with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

The artwork shows the importance of listening, sharing and building knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to create a culturally safe space.

A key theme throughout the artwork is a visual representation, symbolising the history of Australia. The centre circle shows PM&C’s place in Australian society and the importance of relationships and connection that can only be built through respect, collaboration and trust. The outer circles show people sitting either side of the centre circle which symbolises the rich culture and experiences that our people bring and are able to share.
