A range of events and exhibitions have been planned, celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday). These events celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.
