2025 marks 50 years of NAIDOC week, a powerful milestone in the ongoing journey of recognition, rights, and resilience.

This year’s NAIDOC theme, 'The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy', is a reminder for all Australians 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.

As we celebrate Australian Made Week, we acknowledge Australian companies who continue to innovate and offer quality products.

Buying Australian-made matters because of the compounding benefits to our standard of living. When you buy local, Australian businesses invest in more production and employ more people. Then, more people have money to spend, and the cycle continues.

Where possible, please support Australian businesses!

Happy Australian Made Week!! 💚💛

Make sure to show your support for Aussie makers and growers this week, and use the hashtag to spread the word!

When you buy Australian Made, you’re supporting local businesses, creating Aussie jobs, and enjoying products made to our high standards of quality ✅

Look out for the trusted green and gold kangaroo logo when you shop, so you know you're buying genuinely Aussie! 🦘

The holiday period can be a time of joy and togetherness, but it can also lead to social exhaustion.

Don't forget to check in with your mates who might be 'peopled-out' or fatigued. Let them know it's OK if they need to skip a catch up to recharge their social battery.
