This NAIDOC Week, Accoras teams have had the privilege of celebrating, connecting and learning alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across South East Queensland.
This year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly, celebrates five decades of NAIDOC, recognising the strength, leadership and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Across the week, our teams have supported community celebrations that have strengthened relationships and created opportunities to connect through culture, learning and shared experiences.
In Inala, our headspace Inala team supported the Inala NAIDOC Launch and participated in the Inala NAIDOC Family Fun Day, where young people and families enjoyed activities including a community tree, bracelet beading and NAIDOC bookmark making. We extend our sincere thanks to the Inala Elders Committee and Inala Wangarra for their leadership, guidance and support in delivering these important community celebrations. We are also proud that one member of our headspace Inala team represented the service on the Inala NAIDOC Steering Committee, contributing to the planning of this year's celebrations, while many of our team members supported the events throughout the week.
On the Gold Coast, our You.nique team proudly supported the Kalwun Development Corporation Ltd NAIDOC Community Day as both sponsors and stallholders. The team enjoyed connecting with community members and celebrating culture and community. Thank you to Kalwun for another meaningful event
Across Logan and Beaudesert, our Commonwealth Psychosocial Support Program (CPSP) team proudly supported both the Logan NAIDOC Family Fun Day and the NAIDOC 2026 event as stallholders, connecting with community members while celebrating culture and this year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly.
Our NAIDOC celebrations are continuing beyond the official week. Next week, our Child, Youth and Family teams, including Secondary to Intensive Family Support (SIFS), You.nique South Brisbane, the Aftercare Program (ACAP) and MobBOOST, will host a stall at The Murri School, engaging children and families through a stone painting activity that celebrates creativity, culture and connection. Staff from SIFS, You.nique South Brisbane and headspace Inala will also host a stall at the Elorac Place NAIDOC Community Event, with support from colleagues across headspace Inala, MobBOOST and Accoras, continuing to strengthen relationships with community through partnership and participation.
While NAIDOC Week shines a spotlight on the histories, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, our commitment to building respectful relationships with communities continues throughout the year. We are grateful to the Elders, community organisations, partners and volunteers who have welcomed our teams and shared their knowledge, culture and stories.
