NAIDOC 2025 – Next generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy

NAIDOC 2025 design - five people in side profile from smallest to largest in a row.

50 years of NAIDOC week! NAIDOC is a special week for our Mob and Community. This year, NAIDOC is celebrated from 6-13 July. NAIDOC Week provides an opportunity to promote cultural awareness, enhance diversity and inclusion, and foster reconciliation. This time of year provides an opportunity for all Australians to learn and celebrate our culture. NAIDOC also reflects the struggle and hardship of our people who strived for a better future. It sets aside a time for us to reflect on the trailblazers that led the way for our Community and who continue to work towards a better future for the next generation.

This year’s theme is focussed on the Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy. The theme highlights the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and our enduring connection to the land, and sea. In line with 50 years of NAIDOC, the theme for 2025 honours this milestone by elevating the voices of our people. This week, and every week we celebrate and are empowered by the achievements of the past and the bright future ahead.

IUIH’s work is all about working across generations, including nurturing the next generation to flourish and thrive, and to be the Elders of tomorrow. We do this by providing high quality, culturally safe health services and leaning into our vision for healthy and strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities.

IUIH is supporting events across the network for Community. Check them out:

Healing Hands Womens Group.

Healing Hands Women’s Group is a safe, healing space for First Nations women from all different clans/backgrounds to come together to:

  • Respect and honour our stories
  • Care for one another with honesty and kindness
  • Listen, learn, laugh, cry, grow, and empower one another
  • Embrace each other’s indifferences
  • Walk alongside each other and uplift each other with words of encouragement and strength
  • Restore our spirit, and our communities back to peace and harmony.

Let’s celebrate our woman spirit, as life-givers, caretakers, gatherers, healers, nurturers, and guardians.

Remembering, you are strong: the holder of spiritual knowledge, the sharer of stories, the connection to culture, the flow in dance, and the heart in language.

And together, we can create change, heal, and make new storylines for our families and future generations to come.

If you are ready to take the step forward and learn more about our safe Healing Hands Women’s Group, reach out for a yarn with our friendly team today on 1800254354.
