NAIDOC Week
National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.
This year, the theme is Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!
In celebration of NAIDOC week, the SES this year have had a vehicle wrapped in the artwork of Ngarrindjeri man, Jordan Lovegrove. An emergency services agency-wide morning tea will also be held with a smoking ceremony conducted by Aboriginal Elder, Ivan-Tiwu Copley OAM JP. Watch our socials this NAIDOC week for more info!
