What is \u2018NAIDOC\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAIDOC<\/a> stands for the National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee. It is a significant week in the Australian calendar, and an especially important one for many Indigenous communities around the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a week to celebrate Indigenous culture and heritage, commemorate our history, unify our communities, and share that with the rest of the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Is NAIDOC Week?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAIDOC Week happens each year between the first and second Sundays in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many events occur during this time all around Australia. They typically involve music performances, art displays, talks, activities and learning opportunities for children and cultural workshops (see more on this below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
