5th – 12th July 2026
During National Aboriginal and Indigenous NAIDOC Week, Aboriginal Incursions and our First Nations Education facilitators provide Aboriginal cultural school workshops and Aboriginal cultural Immersions, delivered to you through our cultural incursions all over Australia.
NAIDOC Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of Aboriginal history, culture and heritage. It runs from Sunday to Sunday, the second week in July each year, to recognise and celebrate the achievements and history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This week is a chance for all Australians to celebrate and learn about First Nations culture and history, and to join in the celebration of the oldest, continuing living cultures on the planet.
You can support and celebrate your local Aboriginal and / or Torres Strait Islander community through activities and events across Australia.
The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy
As we enter 2026, NAIDOC Week marks a powerful milestone: 50 years of honoring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. The 2026 theme is yet to be announced.
This year, the National NAIDOC Committee takes an important step toward independence, embracing self-determination as a model for the next generation. With every story shared, every act of resilience remembered, and every cultural practice celebrated, we honour a legacy that reaches far into the past and extends into the future. As we celebrate this milestone, we look toward the next 50 years with excitement and confidence, while everyday ensuring that NAIDOC remains a movement grounded in community-led vision and integrity.
From this solid foundation, the next generation will rise – grounded in the strength of our Elders, history, inspired by a shared vision, and committed to building a legacy of unity, respect, and self-determination for all. This NAIDOC Week, we celebrate not just a milestone but a movement that endures, grows, and evolves – driven by the unwavering strength of our communities, the shared vision of our people, and the enduring legacy we pass on to those who will shape our future. Together, we walk forward, honoring where we’ve come from and looking boldly to the next generation who will carry NAIDOC and their communities into the future.
