Let’s Share Positive Stories

Australian Black and White Stories celebrates positive stories about black and white people collaborating to build their communities.
Black and White Stories acknowledges the traditional owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this site may contain images, voices, or names of people who have entered the dreaming.

Hosting the Governor General
During 2021, two journalism students from RMIT in Melbourne undertook an internship with Australian Black and White Stories, while four groups from the School of Media and Communication worked on a marketing plan for the company as their final year integrated learning project. These students were invited to show thir work to The Governor-General, his Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC [Retd] and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley at a special end-of-year event facilitated by Black and White Stories.
Journalism students, Renee Davidson and Sonia Liversidge, are seen here interviewing Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley.

Today, more than ever, we need positive stories to lift our spirits and restore faith in society. Help us tell stories about inspiring and hopeful people who make Australia a better place for everyone.
Australian Black and White Stories is actively seeking donations through its partnership with Documentary Australia Foundation. We use the funds to research and produce stories about real people working together for the good of their communities. Every little bit helps.
Find out more on our Documentary Australia page.

Share in the good news
Positive stories are hidden throughout the country. With links to communities throughout Australia, Black and White is uncovering these stories and bringing them to you.
We respect cultural practices and honour the dignity and privacy of our collaborators. We work in close consultation with individuals and communities as the subjects of our stories.
