NAIDOC Perth 2024

NAIDOC Perth proudly hosts four major events across May, June and July each year to celebrate the rich history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Western Australia.

Celebrations are open to Western Australians from all walks of life, not just Indigenous peoples. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

National NAIDOC Week

7-14 July 2024

This year’s theme chosen by the National NAIDOC Committee, is Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud.

The theme 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.
