June MHDA Newsletter

Staff, consumers, carers, families and community members across NSLHD will come together throughout July to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2026, as the district continues its commitment to strengthening and supporting the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This year’s theme, 50 Years of Deadly, marks five decades of NAIDOC Week , a national celebration dedicated to honouring and amplifying Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, leadership and achievements. For 50 years, NAIDOC themes have reflected survival, resistance, culture and pride. They have celebrated Elders, leaders, artists and communities, while continuing to challenge Australia to listen, learn and act. 50 Years of Deadly is both a reflection and a declaration, recognising the strength, resilience and determination of generations who ensured NAIDOC remained grounded in culture, community and connection. Across the district, services will host a range of NAIDOC Week activities and events, including performances from First Nations Education and NSLHD Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services, alongside community gatherings, cultural activities, displays and celebrations.
