NAIDOC Week 2025
50 years of NAIDOC 

This year, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honouring, celebrating and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience! 

We look forward to celebrating NAIDOC Week (6-13 July) across the country.  

You can find our team at local NAIDOC events in Boorloo/Perth (in September 2025), Gadi/Sydney and Meanjin/Brisbane. We hope to see you there! 

NAIDOC began as a movement for recognition and rights, sparked by Indigenous communities who saw a future built on justice and equality. Over the decades, it has grown into a powerful national celebration and a testament of the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.  

This year’s NAIDOC theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’ celebrates “not only the achievements of the past but the bright future ahead, empowered by the strength of our young leaders, the vision of our communities, and the legacy of our ancestors.” 

The theme is a call to uplift, invest in, and listen to the next generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples — and to honour the legacies that paved the way. 

The 2025 National NAIDOC Week poster is a stunning digital artwork titled ‘Ancestral Lines’, created by Jeremy Morgan Worrall, a proud Ngarbal/Gomeroi man from Emmaville and Deepwater in northern New South Wales. His family lines include the Wrights, Connors, and Marlows. 

“When I look back at my mob, it helps me see towards the future,” Jeremy said. “This piece tells the story of our knowledge — of lore, care, hunting, weaving, and love — being passed on through time. My hope is that it speaks to young people and shows them that they come from strength. They come from a legacy of survival and brilliance. And that gives us all vision for what comes next.”
