NAIDOC Week (5-12 July 2026) is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about our First Nations Peoples and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.  

The origins of NAIDOC Week can be traced back to the Aboriginal rights movement. On Australia Day 1938, protestors marched through the streets of Sydney about the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. This protest was one of the first major civil rights gatherings in the world and it became known as the ‘Day of Mourning’.

Between 1940 and 1955 the Day of Mourning was held annually on the Sunday before Australia Day and was commonly known as ‘Aborigines Day’. In 1955 it was decided that Aborigines Day should include a celebration of Aboriginal culture, heritage and achievement. This is now celebrated as NAIDOC Week, which highlights the achievements of Indigenous people all over Australia.1

Today, NAIDOC Week is a thriving celebration of First Peoples and its cultures. 2026 marks five decades of NAIDOC Week - a significant milestone and statement of survival – with the theme being ‘50 Years of Deadly’.

There are many different ways to engage with and learn more about First Nations cultures during NAIDOC Week. We’ve compiled some resources for you below to help you begin your planning!
