NAIDOC Week 2026 - Celebrating 50 Years of Deadly!!!

We were proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the Deadly Day Out at Riverway, with all QYS staff given the opportunity to attend and take part in the celebrations. Our team had a fantastic day participating in the NAIDOC march, engaging with community members and stakeholders, and hosting an interactive stall that encouraged connection, conversation, and shared learning.

NAIDOC Week was a meaningful opportunity for QYS staff to come together, celebrate culture, and strengthen connections within our community.

Celebrating 50 Years of Deadly!

QYS was honoured to attend the NAIDOC Corporate Breakfast at The Ville, with 10 staff members representing our organisation and joining community leaders, organisations, and local stakeholders in celebrating the achievements, strengths, and contributions of First Nations peoples.
