NAIDOC Week

Federation Council celebrates and recognises NAIDOC Week and acknowledges all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples that reside in which the Federation Council boundary lies.

NAIDOC Week is 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, culture and achievements of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and to recognise and celebrate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community’s contributions to the Federation Council.
