NAIDOC Week 2023
NAIDOC Week 2023 runs from Sunday 2 July to 9 July.
NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The week is a great opportunity for people from all walks of life to participate in a range of activities that celebrate and support our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee, which was the group in the 1990s that organised national celebrations marking a week of remembrance for Australia’s First People and their heritage. The group's acronym has since become the name of the week itself which is commemorated by Councils and local communities throughout Australia.
The National NAIDOC Theme for 2023 is For Our Elders
We are committed to building our relationships with First Nations communities and organisations and recognising their invaluable contribution to our City.
