NAIDOC Week
The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy – 6 to 13 July 2025
NAIDOC Week provides the opportunity for all Australians to come together and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
As we enter 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience.
The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.
