NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC Week is a national celebration of the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, held in the first week of July each year.
NAIDOC celebrations are held across Australia during the first week of July (Sunday to Sunday) to celebrate the histories, cultures and achievements of First Nations (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.

The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy
NAIDOC Week 2025 marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience.
The 2025 NAIDOC 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.
The National NAIDOC Week Poster by Jeremy Morgan Worrall titled ‘Ancestral Lines’ is a visual representation of the lines and ties that follow a generation and the songs that come with it.
Read more about the theme and the poster on the National NAIDOC website.
