NAIDOC Week 2024
7-14 July 2024
NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
2024 Theme: 'KEEP THE FIRE BURNING! BLAK, LOUD AND PROUD'
This year's theme celebrates the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to stand in solidarity, amplifying the voices that have long been silenced.
Church resources
For resources from our church communities please visit the NCCA First Nations NAIDOC resource page which is updated as we receive items from our members and networks.
General resources and information
NAIDOC Week is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. We are invited to walk with the First Nation people in a movement of the Australian people for a better future.
