Happy NAIDOC Week!
Happy NAIDOC WEEK!
In the first week of July every year, we celebrate NAIDOC week in Australia. During this week we highlight and recognise the history, achievements, and culture of Australia’s First Nations people.
Last year the theme was “Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!” and called for direct action in uplifting and fighting for change in the experiences of Indigenous Australians.
This year’s theme is “For Our Elders”. It recognises the efforts of, and pays respects to, the First Nations Elders who have carried on tradition, paved pathways, and helped fight for equality throughout their lifetimes.

This art was designed by Bobbi Lockyer, a proud Ngarluma, Kariyarra, Nyulnyul and Yawuru artist, born and based on Kariyarra Country in Port Hedland. Bobbi’s artwork, For Our Elders, “showcases how important our Elders are in passing down traditions and culture to our children and future.”
