About the theme

NAIDOC Week 2025 marks 50 years of honoring First Nations voices, culture, and resilience. The theme "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy” celebrates the past achievements and the bright future ahead, empowered by young leaders, community vision, and ancestral legacy.

Together, we walk forward, honoring where we've come from and looking boldly to the next generation who will carry NAIDOC and their communities into the future.

Sunshine Coast Council acknowledges the Kabi Kabi Peoples and Jinibara Peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters we all now share. We value and embrace their enduring connection to Country and rich cultural heritage as a core part of our regional identity.
