NAIDOC Week 2025—The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy

NAIDOC Week is held annually in July and is a national celebration of Australia’s First Nations peoples, histories and cultures—the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

This year, NAIDOC Week runs from Sunday 6 to Sunday 13 July, with activities and efforts focused on the theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision and Legacy’.

As we enter 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring and elevating Indigenous 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.
