NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) celebrations are held across Australia in July of each year to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the richness of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage.

NAIDOC Week allows us to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and recognise the valuable contribution to our community.

As we enter 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring 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.

Our official Flag Raising Ceremony will be at 70 Central Avenue, Oran Park on Tuesday 8 July 2025, at 10.00am.
