NAIDOC Week - Frequently Asked Questions
NAIDOC Week is our biggest annual campaign. Here's everything your team needs to know to order on time, order right, and make it count.
NAIDOC Week runs the first week of July each year. In 2026, that's July 6–13. It's a national celebration honouring First Nations history, culture, and achievements. For organisations across Australia, it's one of the most meaningful opportunities of the year to bring First Nations Culture into your workplace and show your team what your values look like in practice.
2026 marks the a milestone NAIDOC Week, the theme is 50 Years of Deadly. Our 2026 collection was created to honour this milestone, led by Wiradjuri artist Amy Kilby alongside a roster of collaborating First Nations artists.
NAIDOC Week gives your team a concrete, visible way to demonstrate commitment, whether that's through uniforms, gifting packs, or workplace activations. For organisations with a RAP, NAIDOC is one of the clearest opportunities to show your commitment in action. For schools and healthcare teams, it's a moment to build genuine belonging across staff and community.
