This week, we proudly join communities across the country in celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC Week - a milestone that honours the enduring strength, culture, and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This year’s theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” invites us to reflect on the powerful legacy of those who came before, while celebrating the emerging leaders who are shaping the future with courage, insight, and pride.
The NAIDOC journey began as a movement for recognition and rights, sparked by Indigenous communities who saw a future built on justice and equality. Over the decades, it has grown into a powerful national celebration, a testament to the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We acknowledge the wisdom of Elders, the strength of communities, and the vision of the next generation. Together, we look ahead with hope and determination, committed to working alongside elders and emerging leaders to grow the legacy of NAIDOC — led by Indigenous voices and guided by shared values of unity and respect.
