Aboriginal people deserve respect, not racism.

SAACCON condemns Senator Pauline Hanson’s recent comments and stands with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples against racism, stereotypes and discrimination.

We will continue to advocate for self-determination, strong communities and the recognition of our strengths, cultures and leadership. 🖤💛❤️

Australia endorsed UNDRIP over a decade ago, but the UN says we still have work to do.

For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, UNDRIP is about what works: community-led decision-making, cultural authority, land rights, and self-determination.

It’s not a critique. It’s a roadmap.

Learn. Support ACCOs. Advocate for action. Amplify First Nations voices.

Today we proudly recognise the inaugural International Day of the World's Indigenous Women and Girls.

We honour the strength, resilience and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls, the Nanas, Aunties, Sisters, Cousins, Daughters, Nieces and Granddaughters.

At SAACCON, we celebrate the Aboriginal women whose wisdom, advocacy and cultural leadership continue to shape our organisation, strengthen our communities and inspire future generations.

Indigenous Literacy Day

Today we celebrate the power of stories, language and culture.

Stories connect us to our Elders, families, Country and community and help keep culture strong for generations to come.

Let’s celebrate the stories that inspire us, connect us and bring us together.

Strong stories. Strong culture. Strong communities.

The Wave Hill Walk‑Off led by Vincent Lingiari reshaped this country. It exposed injustice, asserted cultural authority, and proved that Aboriginal people will always stand firm for our rights to land and self‑determination.

In South Australia, that legacy continues through Traditional Owners and Native Title holders, supported by SA Native Title Services as the state’s peak. Their leadership protects Country and ensures our land rights are recognised and respected.

Land rights changed Australia — and they remain essential to Closing the Gap. Respect for Native Title holders must guide every decision.

Today on International Youth Day, we celebrate the strength, pride and cultural leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth carry culture forward, guide community, and shape strong futures.

Across South Australia, ACCOs walk alongside young people — creating safe spaces, cultural programs and opportunities that support wellbeing, identity and connection. SAACCON is proud to champion this work and advocate for community‑led approaches that improve outcomes for Aboriginal youth.

We honour young people, their cultural authority, and the ACCOs who empower them every day.

Today we celebrate Indigenous Midwives: Safeguarding Life and Well‑being — and the Aboriginal women whose cultural strength, knowledge and care continue to shape our families and communities.

Indigenous midwives show the deep responsibilities carried by Aboriginal women: keeping culture strong, supporting mums and babies, guiding families, and nurturing community wellbeing. Across South Australia, ACCOs proudly uphold this leadership through culturally safe maternal, child and family services led by Aboriginal women.

This work strengthens the Closing the Gap Priority Reforms, ensuring Aboriginal women’s voices lead the decisions that build better futures for our families.

We honour midwives, mothers, Aunties, sisters — all the deadly Aboriginal women whose leadership, love and cultural authority continue to lift our communities.

Happy National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day.

Lowitja O’Donoghue Day — Celebratory Post

Today we celebrate Lowitja O’Donoghue Day — honouring an extraordinary Aboriginal leader whose courage, brilliance and unwavering commitment to our people changed this nation for the better.

Lowitja’s legacy shines brightly across our communities. Her leadership showed the power of standing strong in culture, speaking truth, and fighting for justice. That same strength lives on today in our Aboriginal Community‑Controlled Organisations, families and communities who continue to lead with pride, resilience and determination.

As we celebrate Lowitja, we acknowledge the generations who carry culture forward, build strong futures for our children, and show every day what Aboriginal excellence looks like.

Her legacy lifts us. Aboriginal communities carry it. And today, we celebrate it all.

A huge thank you to our lovely partner, Paul from Subnet, who dropped off some very lovely donuts for the team, just because. We truly appreciate the thoughtful gesture and the continued partnership. Safe to say, they didn't last long!
