NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week 2025 - 6 to 13 July

National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week is a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and an opportunity to recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in various fields. Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Indigenous Australians. All Australians are encouraged to participate in NAIDOC Week activities. 

The theme for NAIDOC Week 2025 is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.
