NAIDOC Week 2024

26 June 2024

NAIDOC Week celebrations will be held from 7 – 14 July this year. The theme, “Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud”, honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The BCCM encourages all its member organisations to join NAIDOC celebrations in your city, town or region. BCCM staff are spread across several cities and here’s some events the BCCM team is hoping to get to. We hope to see you there.
