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.
