In recognition of NAIDOC Week and this year’s theme ‘Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud.’, we're celebrating First Nations cultures and histories with a number of events and activities at our offices across the country. In Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, we’ve set up a giveaway of seed kits purchased from IndigiGrow, a 100% Aboriginal owned, run and staffed not-for-profit native plant nursery, and in Perth, we’re running our annual NAIDOC Week photography competition. https://www.naidoc.org.au/
