National NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia in the first week of July each year (Sunday to Sunday), to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about First Nations cultures and histories and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on earth. You can support and get to know your local Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities through activities and events held across the country.
As we celebrate NAIDOC Week let us revisit our Culture on Court Day at Melbourne Park where we had Indigenous Outreach Projects run a hip hop dance workshop for staff and participants!

In partnership with Buldau Yioohgen and Tennis Victoria, Culture on Court is a program that is led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Culture, falling in conjunction with the game of tennis. We bring together our First Nations community with a lot of on-court tennis activities and off-court cultural activities.
