NAIDOC Perth 2023

NAIDOC Perth proudly hosts four major events across 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

2-9 July 2023

The NAIDOC 2023 theme – For our Elders – is a tribute to the significant contributions of the Elders in our community. Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families. They are cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, teachers, survivors, leaders, hard workers and our loved ones.
