NAIDOC Week 2026
5 - 12 July 2026
50 Years Deadly
NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures, histories and achievements.
The 2026 National NAIDOC Week theme is ‘50 Years Deadly'.
For five decades, NAIDOC Week has celebrated the voices of our communities — steady, unapologetic, and proud. Each year, its themes have called for truth, celebrated culture, honoured resistance, and reminded the nation of who we are.
Fifty Years of Deadly marks a milestone. It’s a tribute to the people who built this movement. the Elders who stood firm, the organisers who made space, the artists who turned resistance into expression, and the communities who keep showing up, year after year.
Free NAIDOC Week events and activities will be held across the City from 5-12 July 2026 and we encourage everyone to participate in our celebrations. See below or visit here for more details.
