50 years of NAIDOC Week

by NSW SESVA | July 9, 2025

As we proudly celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC Week, we pay tribute to the First Nations volunteers within the NSW SES who serve with courage, strength and unwavering commitment to community.

This year’s NAIDOC theme — “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision, Legacy” — is a powerful reflection of the resilience of our people, the wisdom of our Elders, and the bold vision of our youth. It also reminds us of the legacy being built by our incredible Indigenous SES members, whose contributions are woven into the very fabric of our service.
