Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2025: Together with Community
This NAIDOC Week, we’re proud to walk alongside community to celebrate culture, honour legacy, and support the next generation.
The 2025 theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” marks 50 years of NAIDOC Week—an important milestone in recognising the strength, resilience, and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year’s theme shines a light on the emerging voices who are shaping the future, while honouring the generations who paved the way.

Why NAIDOC Week Matters
NAIDOC Week is a time to listen, learn, and celebrate the oldest living cultures on earth. It’s about recognising the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to our communities, and creating space for connection, storytelling, and shared pride.
We’re honoured to be part of this week and invite everyone to come along, say hi, and celebrate together.
