NAIDOC WEEK

NAIDOC Week celebrates the survival of Indigenous culture and the Indigenous contribution to modern Australia. The national theme this year is Advance Australia Fair? And all Australians are encouraged to participate in the many NAIDOC Week activities that will be held across the Victoria. NAIDOC celebrations are held around Australia in July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’. This committee was once responsible for organising national activities during NAIDOC Week and its acronym has become the name of the week itself. See http://www.naidoc.org.au/ for full details. The Victorian NAIDOC Coordinator this year is Robert Britton – 9416 9240 / 0400 057 678.
