We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners for the major Australian cities in which we operate, Brisbane (Meanjin): Yuggera / Jagera Country, Sydney (Warrane / Warran): Gadigal Country, Melbourne (Naarm): the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung of the Eastern Kulin, and Adelaide (Tarndanya): Kaurna Country.
NAIDOC Week 2025 celebrates “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy”, a powerful theme that honours the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the vision of emerging leaders, and the legacy passed down through generations.
This week is a time for all Australians to reflect, learn, and celebrate the rich cultures, achievements, and contributions of First Nations peoples. It's a call to support and uplift the next generation—those who carry forward the wisdom of their Elders and the hope of a more just and inclusive future.
From community events to cultural activities, NAIDOC Week is a chance to come together in respect, unity, and pride.
Join us from 6-13 July 2025 in recognising and celebrating the voices shaping tomorrow.

Australia's First Peoples have been living on the Australian continent for millennia.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australia is made up of many different and distinct groups, each with their own culture, customs, language and laws. They are the world’s oldest surviving culture; cultures that continue to be expressed in dynamic and contemporary ways.
