First Australians

The Noongar/Bibbulmun people are the Traditional Owners of the South West of Western Australia. The City of South Perth is located on Whadjak Noongar Country and we acknowledge the continuing connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to this land.

For a number of years, the City has been working with local Aboriginal people and the community to build relationships, trust and understanding on our journey of reconciliation.

NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to celebrate the rich history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The City celebrates NAIDOC Week in July each year, by partnering with community organisations and local Noongar community members to host a series of events. Visit the Events section of the website to find out more.

Get creative with craft workshops, design your own skate deck or hear about Amanda Healy's fascinating journey from the mining industry to high-end Aboriginal fashion design when the City celebrates NAIDOC Week 2022 (3-10 July).

This year's theme Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! calls for systemic change and to keep rallying around our mob, our Elders, our communities.

Join us on Monday 4 July from 1.30pm to 2.30pm for a Flag Raising Ceremony to begin the City's NAIDOC Week activities.

This free event at the Civic Centre is a great opportunity for our community to come together to honour the Aboriginal community in the City of South Perth and acknowledge the culture of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Light refreshments will be provided after the ceremony and this event is supported by the Department of Communities and held in partnership Mentally Healthy WA to promote the Act Belong Commit campaign.
