Celebrate NAIDOC Week with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors, musicians, stories and more.
Each year, Australians come together to celebrate NAIDOC Week and to honour the history, cultures, contribution and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
In 2024, NAIDOC Week is celebrated from 7 to 14 July and the theme is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud. The fire represents the enduring strength and vitality of Indigenous cultures, passed down through generations despite the challenges faced.
