NAIDOC Week 2023 : For Our Elders

Join us as we celebrate NAIDOC Week with a traditional Welcoming to Country and Smoking Ceremony, a contemporary dance performance, a free art workshop and a special Morning Tea with the Elders.

NAIDOC Week falls on July 2-9 2023, with this year's theme ‘For Our Elders’ honouring respect to the Elders who have played, and continue to play, a prominent role in passing on their knowledge and cultural traditions across generations. It's time to recognise and celebrate the achievements of the Elders who have tirelessly paved the way to a more just and equal future.
