NAIDOC
NAIDOC (National Aboriginal Islander Day Observance Committee) Week is a way of celebrating and promoting a greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture.
Communities throughout the country come together to celebrate the survival of Aboriginal people, the continuation of Aboriginal culture and to also demonstrate the contribution that Indigenous Australians have made to our nation.
This year's national theme is Self- Determination - Our Community - Our Future - Our Responsibility
The City of Yarra remains an important meeting place for Indigenous people and is proud to support activities in celebration of NAIDOC Week.
