NAIDOC Week

July 4 -11

Australians of all backgrounds come together to recognise and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples during NAIDOC Week.

We work with some vital Indigenous voices in the Australian media – from advocacy to the arts, education and sport, these inspiring speakers are leading the conversation for change.

More information and resources about NAIDOC Week are available here.
