NAIDOC Week celebrations
Brisbane City Council acknowledges the importance of NAIDOC Week to Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples and supports a variety of events held throughout the city. NAIDOC Week is usually celebrated in the first full week of July each year. NAIDOC stands for the National Aboriginal and Islander Day of Observance Committee.
NAIDOC Week provides an opportunity to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. It also celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures and is an opportunity to recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community’s contributions to Brisbane City.
NAIDOC Week will be held from the 3-10 July 2022 honouring this year’s theme of ‘Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!’.
For more information, visit the NAIDOC week website.
