NAIDOC Week - 3 to 10 July 2011

National Aboriginal and Islanders’ Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week will be celebrated this year from 4 to 11 July inclusive.

NAIDOC Week is held every year as a way of promoting a greater understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture, celebrating the survival of Indigenous culture and the Indigenous contribution to modern Australia. This year, NAIDOC Week will be celebrated from 3 to 10 July inclusive.

On the first and last day of this period, the Australian Aboriginal Flag and/or the Torres Strait Islander Flag should be flown on additional flagpoles, where available, next to or near the Australian National Flag. If there is only one flagpole available at a flag station the Australian National Flag should be flown.
