Celebrating NAIDOC Week

Eastern Health is proud to be celebrating NAIDOC Week 2025 (6–13 July).

At Eastern Health, we are committed to engaging and collaborating with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the spirit of reconciliation.

Guided by our values, we continue to work together to advance health equity and incorporate cultural safety in our organisation.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge the next generation of leaders whose strength and vision contribute to shaping the future for Indigenous voices.

Celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC Week, we reflect on the strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, the vision of communities, and the legacy that guides the community forward.

This year’s theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’, honours the enduring contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and celebrates the emerging leaders shaping our shared future.

We recognise that health and wellbeing are deeply connected to culture, Country, and Indigenous identity.

By listening and acting with respect, we strive to create a culturally safe and inclusive health system for all.
