NAIDOC WEEK 2025 – 6 to 13 JULY
Brigidines honour NAIDOC Week which is held annually in Australia to celebrate the joy and pride of culture and connect with community. In years marked by hardship and upheaval, NAIDOC Week has remained a powerful reminder of survival, resilience and the ongoing achievements of First Nations Peoples.
NAIDOC Week continues to be a space for truth-telling and for acknowledging that First Nations peoples are not only surviving, but are leading, creating and dreaming of a future where their people flourish.
NAIDOC Week marks its 50th anniversary in 2025. The chosen theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,’ invites us to reflect on the legacy of those who came before, to champion the strength of emerging young leaders, and to look to the future with active hope.
NAIDOC Week graciously and generously invites non-Indigenous Australians into deeper partnership, deeper listening, and deeper celebration.

Naidoc Week History Dadirri
“May this 50th year of NAIDOC carry the spirit of Jubilee in our communities:
a call to repair what has been broken, hand back what has been taken, and rejoice in the steadfast courage, resilience, love and generosity of First Nations peoples. ”
(Common Grace NAIDOC Week 2025)
“… Love of nature can only be authentic in solidarity with indigenous peoples who do not distinguish themselves from the plants, animals, rivers and mountains which inspire their languages practices, and spirit. So loving one must include the other.”
(Fatima Measham, Invitation & Call 2022)
