Celebrating NAIDOC week 2019

Published on
7 July 2019

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In the spirit of NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) celebrations across Australia, we look back at the journey of First Nations people and the broader Australian community.

By speaking the truth in love and working for justice, we will unite in purpose and walk together as partners towards the promise of reconciliation.
