It’s held each year during the first week of July and is an important annual event where everyone’s invited to join in the celebrations.

NAIDOC Week in the classroom

Schools play an important role in celebrating NAIDOC Week. NAIDOC Week is a great opportunity to incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander content into your teaching.

We have curriculum resources to help teachers embed First Nations perspectives in the classroom.

Here’s how you can get involved:

• Display the NAIDOC Week poster in your workplace, organisation, school, website or social media
• Plan an event (in person or online) to celebrate NAIDOC Week
• Learn more about the history of NAIDOC Week
• Learn more about this year’s theme – Heal Country, heal our nation.

This year’s NAIDOC theme – Get up! Stand up! Show up! – calls for stronger measures to recognise, protect, and maintain all aspects of First Nations cultures and heritages.

NAIDOC 2022 invites the nation to embrace Indigneous cultural knowledges and understandings of Country as part of Australia's national heritage.
