Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen with a simple knock on the door. 🖤💛❤️

During NAIDOC Week, our dedicated Wyanga team were out delivering hot dinners to our Elders, thanks to the generosity of South Cares and Aunty Beanies Deadly Feeds.

For many of our Elders, it wasn't just about receiving a warm meal—it was about knowing someone was thinking of them, stopping for a yarn, sharing a laugh and making sure they felt connected to community.

The smiles on our Elders' faces say everything. ❤️

A heartfelt thank you to South Cares and Aunty Beanies Deadly Feeds for helping us care for our Elders in such a meaningful way. Together, we're showing that looking after our Elders is something we all have a role in.

🖤💛❤️

Did you stop by and celebrate with us at the NCIE NAIDOC Celebrations? 🖤💛❤️

Maybe you joined us for a delicious meal at the Elders Luncheon, grabbed a tea or coffee at the Elders Tent, had a yarn with community, or even got up for a little dance with the deadly Taryn Beatty! 💃🏾🎶

It was beautiful to see so many familiar faces coming together to celebrate, connect and honour our Elders throughout NAIDOC Week. The laughter, the stories and the smiles made it a truly special day.

We'd love to hear from you! What was your favourite part of the day? Share your photos and memories in the comments below. 👇🏾

What an incredible day we had hosting the NCIE NAIDOC Elders Luncheon! 🖤💛❤️

A huge thank you to our community's very own superstar chef Aunty Beryl, who put together an absolutely beautiful meal that brought everyone together around the table. Nothing says love like a home-cooked feed made with love and shared with our Elders.

A special shout-out to the deadly Taryn Beatty, who had us smiling, singing and up on their feet with some great music and dance moves. The room was filled with laughter, joy and that true community spirit.

It was a privilege to celebrate our Elders during NAIDOC Week and honour the generations who continue to guide, teach and inspire us.

A heartfelt thank you to NCIE and everyone who helped make the day so special and to all those who supported our Elders throughout NAIDOC. Together, we created a day full of connection, culture and unforgettable memories. 🖤💛❤️

There’s nothing more special than seeing our Wyanga Elders out in community, connecting, laughing and celebrating together. 🖤💛❤️

A wonderful day was shared at the AbSec Family Fun Day as part of NAIDOC Week, with our Elders and staff enjoying the celebrations, catching up with mob and embracing the spirit of this year's NAIDOC.

Thank you to AbSec for creating such a welcoming space for our communities to come together and celebrate. 🖤💛❤️

What a fin-tastic day out! 🐠🦈💙

Our Men's and Women's Program enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, exploring the incredible marine life, sharing plenty of laughs, and spending quality time together.

These outings are more than just a day of fun—they're an opportunity to connect, build friendships, stay active, and create lasting memories.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another deadly day out! 🩵

A lifetime of strength. A legacy of leadership. ❤️🖤💛

We are incredibly proud to see our founding member and respected Elder, Aunty Millie Ingram AM, featured in this ABC article celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC.

Aunty Millie's story is woven into the history of NAIDOC itself. From her family's connection to the 1938 Day of Mourning to her lifelong advocacy for Aboriginal rights, self-determination and community, she continues to inspire generations with her unwavering commitment to our people. As a founding member of Wyanga Aboriginal Aged Care, her vision has helped ensure our Elders receive culturally safe care with dignity and respect.

Congratulations, Aunty Millie. Your strength, wisdom and leadership continue to light the way for all of us.

Traditionally, NAIDOC Week was celebrated by First Nations people, but it has become an invitation for non-Indigenous Australians to get involved.

Our Elders have been busy as NAIDOC Week celebrations kick off across the community! ❤️🖤💛

A big shout out to Uncle Elvis, who proudly welcomed students, staff and families with a smoking ceremony at the Marrickville and Dulwich Hill Public Schools NAIDOC celebrations.

Our Elders also enjoyed attending the Randwick Hospital NAIDOC celebrations, coming together to celebrate culture, community and the strength of our people.

It's wonderful to see our Elders sharing culture, leading with pride and continuing to inspire the next generation throughout NAIDOC Week.

As we celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC, we honour the courageous leaders of the 1938 Aboriginal Day of Mourning who paved the way for generations to come.

For Wyanga, this photograph is more than history—it is family. Many of those pictured are connected to our founding members, our Elders, and the families who continue to shape our organisation today.

Their legacy lives on through every Elder we care for, every family we support, and every act of community we share.

We proudly honour those who came before us and remain committed to walking the path they created—one built on strength, culture, community and Aboriginal-led care.

As we celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC, we invite you to read this powerful article featuring our Chairwoman, Aunty Norma Ingram, as she shares her family's connection to NAIDOC and reflects on what this important week should mean for all Australians.

NAIDOC's journey began as a movement for justice, rights and recognition. Fifty years on, we honour the strength and resilience of those who came before us and continue to celebrate the enduring cultures, voices and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Take a moment to read Aunty Norma's story and reflect on the legacy that continues to shape our future.
