NAIDOC Week celebrations at Royal North Shore Hospital
Celebrating NAIDOC Week across NSLHD Staff across the district have celebrated and recognised the rich history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples during NAIDOC Week. Events were held at Ryde, Royal North Shore and Hornsby hospitals with traditional performances to celebrate this year’s theme – ‘For Our Elders’. Director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service Peter Shine said: “This theme inspires all of us to celebrate the important role Aboriginal Elders have played and continue to play and the prominent place they hold in communities and families. “Elders are cultural knowledge holders and guide generations having paved the way for Aboriginal people to take the paths they can take today. “The tenacity and strength of our Elders has carried the survival of Aboriginal people.”
