🖤💛❤️ NAIDOC Week 2026
6–13 July 2026

HARDA proudly celebrates NAIDOC Week and encourages our community to take part in events happening across their local areas.

This year's official NAIDOC Week artwork, Paralpi by Yankunytjatjara artist and musician Zaachariaha Fielding, celebrates 50 years of NAIDOC. The artwork reflects culture, connection, resilience, and the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next, reminding us of the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We encourage everyone to attend local NAIDOC Week events, learn, connect, and celebrate the world's oldest continuing cultures.

Happy NAIDOC Week!
