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; the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth.

This year’s theme, chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee, is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.

The theme honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Southern Cross University invites all staff, students, and community to join us in celebrating NAIDOC at Gold Coast, Lismore and Coffs Harbour campus locations. This community day includes Dean Brady performing across the three campuses, along with cultural performances, musicians, workshops/activities and an Art Exhibition in the Library.
