NAIDOC WEEK: 06 July - 13 July 2008
Advance Australia Fair
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, 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. For many years, the Australian Government has been the major funding contributor to national focus activities.
For more information, please refer to the NAIDOC website.
