Federal Government grants are now available to support communities and organisations planning NAIDOC Week celebrations (July 3-10).
“NAIDOC Week is the most comprehensive showcase of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories,” Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said.
“Every year, we celebrate and honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ excellence and their contribution to our country that dates back tens of thousands of years.
“It’s a chance to share in our rich history and hold up the many heroes of our past and elevate those Indigenous Australians who are currently making our nation a better place for all.”
Applications close on February 22.
