The National NAIDOC Awards are a significant event on the NAIDOC Week calendar. 

A glittering line-up of some of this country’s most iconic Indigenous musicians and entertainers will perform at the prestigious National NAIDOC Awards in Canberra this weekend.

Indigenous businesses are playing a more prominent role in this year’s NAIDOC celebrations than ever before, reflecting the important roles they play in their communities.

The National NAIDOC Committee has welcomed a partnership with the Woolworths Group that will assist in the Australia-wide distribution of the 2019 NAIDOC Poster. 

The National NAIDOC Committee is proud to partner with SBS as the official Principal Media Partner for the next three years.

NAIDOC Committee releases new education resources following a staggering uptake in 2018.

For me education is central to all we do in ensuring truth telling and making sure all people have the real facts about Aboriginal people’s cultures and histories of contact in Australia.

Charmaine Mumbulla is the winner of the prestigious National NAIDOC poster competition for 2019. Charmaine cares deeply about the 2019 National NAIDOC theme, and about the celebration of Indigenous art and history. 

Charmaine Mumbulla, a proud Kaurna and Narungga woman, is this year’s winner of the prestigious National NAIDOC Poster Competition. Ms Mumbulla’s artwork ‘Awaken’ was judged by the National NAIDOC Committee to have best captured the spirit of the 2019 NAIDOC theme: Voice. Treaty. Truth – Let’s work together for a shared future.

The 2019 National NAIDOC award nominations are currently still open!   As part of the National NAIDOC Committee (NNC) I took a moment to reflect on why these awards are so important. Do awards still matter? Does the wider community pay attention to them really?
