NAIDOC Week
- This event has passed.
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (5 to 12 July), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.
This year is especially significant, marking 50 years of NAIDOC Week. This year’s theme, 50 Years of Deadly, celebrates the strength, resilience and contributions of First Nations peoples over the past five decades, while recognising the ongoing importance of truth-telling, advocacy and self-determination.
As we reflect on this milestone, we acknowledge the importance of listening to, engaging with and amplifying First Nations voices, cultures, traditions and perspectives- past, present and emerging. At the Centre we stand and advocate alongside our First Nations colleagues, organisations and sector to support a future where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, young people and families can thrive.
