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. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country. 

The 2026 NAIDOC Week theme, "50 Years of Deadly", celebrates five decades of NAIDOC Week and honours the Elders, organisers, artists and communities who have shaped and sustained the movement. It recognises the strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today—grounded in culture, proud in identity and leading change. The theme also looks ahead to the next 50 years, highlighting future generations, language revival, connection to Country and the ongoing pursuit of justice.
