NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) celebrations are held across Australia in July of each year to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the richness of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage.
NAIDOC Week allows us to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and recognise the valuable contribution to our community.
Our official Flag Raising Ceremony will be at 70 Central Avenue, Oran Park on Tuesday 9 July 2024, at 10am.
