National NAIDOC week

This national NAIDOC week 3-10 July, let's work together to Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! for systemic change and keep rallying around our mob, our Elders and our communities.

Whether it’s seeking proper environmental, cultural and heritage protections, Constitutional change, a comprehensive process of truth-telling, working towards treaties, or calling out racism - we move together. Let’s celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and keep the momentum of change going.

At ACU we encourage all staff and students to enjoy NAIDOC events in your local community during this time, see what’s happening near you.

ACU celebrates NAIDOC week on all campuses 8–12 August

The First Peoples Directorate invites all staff and students to join in the celebrations with local Indigenous Higher Education Units.
