NAIDOC Week celebrations

NAIDOC Week Celebration logo

Brisbane City Council acknowledges the importance of NAIDOC Week to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 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 peoples.

It also recognises and celebrates the history and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and is an opportunity to recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community’s contributions to Brisbane.

As we enter 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honouring and elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, culture, and resilience. The 2025 theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy," celebrates not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.
