Full Description:: Always Was, Always Will Be.

In 2020 The University of Queensland is proud to once again celebrate NAIDOC Week. While nationally, NAIDOC Week may have moved to November, we are taking the opportunity to celebrate the event early in Semester 2 when all students can experience the events whether you are studying on campus or online.

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

REGISTRATION ESSENTIAL

Due to safety reasons and in line with current guidelines, registration is essential for all on-campus events. Please see the website to register and for more information.
