Event description

Aboriginal Housing Victoria’s NAIDOC Family Day at the Farm is back for 2024! Our much-loved community event will feature live music, dance, arts and crafts, storytelling and a free BBQ. Plus, lots of family fun activities including a kids footy clinic, face painting and prizes to be won!

Announcing, Kee'ahn...

This year, musical celebrations will be headlined by First Nations artist Kee’ahn.

Join us at Collingwood Children’s Farm from 10.30am to 3pm to celebrate the oldest living culture in the world with us.

This is a FREE, all ages event.

Family Day at the Farm brings our diverse communities together to celebrate the significant contribution made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to our community, our families, our history and our nation. This year’s NAIDOC theme is "Blak, Loud and Proud," capturing the unapologetic celebration of Indigenous identity and invites all Australians to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful dialogue, fostering a society where the wisdom and contributions of Indigenous peoples are fully valued and respected.

We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which this event takes place, the Wurundjeri-Woiwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and the hopes of Aboriginal Australia. We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples continue to live in spiritual and sacred relationships with this Country on lands that have never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Aboriginal Housing Victoria (AHV) is an Aboriginal community organisation responsible for managing over 1,500 rental properties for Aboriginal and /or Torres Strait Islander people living in Victoria.

Our vision is to ensure that Aboriginal Victorians secure appropriate, affordable housing as a pathway to better lives and stronger communities.

In addition to being the largest Aboriginal Registered Housing Agency in Australia, AHV is the lead agency for Victoria’s Aboriginal housing and homelessness policy, Mana-na woorn-tyeen maar-takoort. As the housing policy lead in the Aboriginal community, AHV has dual roles to hold the Government to account in securing the resources and reforms to implement the policy, while we support sector development to empower Victoria’s Aboriginal community to determine its chosen housing future.

AHV's housing services are targeted to those most in need of support. Through the provision of secure housing by an Aboriginal rental provider, AHV helps strengthen and maintain Aboriginal communities and cultural ties.

Aboriginal Housing Victoria is a proud member of the Victorian Aboriginal Executive Council (AEC). The AEC was established in 2018 to provide a self-determining collaboration, policy development and advocacy mechanism for Victoria’s peak, lead and state-wide Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations. For more information about the AEC, click here.

AHV is proud of the history and culture of the Aboriginal people of Victoria whom it serves.
