Australia, it's time to wise up to wounds!
Chronic wounds affect over 450,000 Australians annually. Despite this, the knowledge of wound prevention and care is limited.
Wounds Australia aims to provide all Australians with the knowledge to prevent, treat, and heal wounds effectively. This campaign is not just about treating wounds, but also about educating the public and healthcare professionals on early intervention, prevention, and the resources available to help manage chronic wounds.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

NAIDOC POSTER WINNER 2025! 🤩

The National NAIDOC Committee is proud to announce the winner of the 2025 National NAIDOC Week Poster Competition — Ancestral Lines by Jeremy Morgan Worrall

This powerful winning entry reflects this year’s NAIDOC theme: “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision &Legacy.”

The theme is a call to uplift, invest in, and listen to the emerging generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — and to honour the legacies that paved the way.

The 2025 National NAIDOC Week poster is a stunning digital artwork titled Ancestral Lines, created by Jeremy Morgan Worrall, a proud Ngarbal/Gomeroi man from Emmaville and Deepwater in northern New South Wales. His family lines include the Wrights, Connors, and Marlows.

Jeremy’s work honours the knowledge, care and cultural strength passed down through generations — from Ancestors Lucy, Enoch and Nonie Wright to his Nanna Audrie and his mother Vanessa. The artwork is set beneath the swirling clouds and moonlit skies of Tenterfield, where the next generation gathers around the fire — to listen, to learn, and to lead.

“When I look back at my mob, it helps me see towards the future,” Jeremy said.

“This piece tells the story of our knowledge — of lore, care, hunting, weaving, and love — being passed on through time. My hope is that it speaks to young people and shows them that they come from strength. They come from a legacy of survival and brilliance. And that gives us all vision for what comes next.”

👉🏾 KMART A PROUD PARTNER OF NATIONAL NAIDOC 👏🏾

The National NAIDOC Committee and Kmart Group are proud to announce that Kmart and Target has once again been appointed the Official National NAIDOC Week Poster Distribution Partner for 2025.

“At Kmart and Target, we are committed to creating culturally safe spaces — both for our team members and our customers. We’re proud to partner again with the National NAIDOC Committee to celebrate NAIDOC Week. This partnership is more than a moment — it reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering a deeper connection with First Nations communities and celebrating the rich culture that lies at the heart of this important week.” - Kmart and Target Chief Executive Officer John Gualtieri.

The 2025 NAIDOC poster will be available across the country in Kmart and Target stores from 15 June 2025 and is available for download at naidoc.org.au.

KOORI MAIL A PROUD FIRST NATIONS MEDIA PARTNER OF NATIONAL NAIDOC 👏🏾
