NAIDOC celebrations are held
around Australia in the first full week in July to
celebrate the history, culture and achievements of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
NAIDOC originally stood for ‘National
Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’.
This committee was once responsible for organising
national activities during NAIDOC Week (see History
of NAIDOC), and its acronym has become
the name of the week itself.
The week is celebrated not
just in the Indigenous community, but also in increasing
numbers of government agencies, schools, local councils
and workplaces.
