NAIDOC Week 2020

This week Surf Life Saving NSW is celebrating NAIDOC Week 2020. NAIDOC events are held around the country each year to build awareness of the history, culture and achievements of our First Nations People, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The week is not just for our Indigenous communities, there is increasingly a growing number of government agencies, community organisations, local councils, workplaces, schools and sporting groups who join in.

To celebrate NAIDOC Week 2020, Surf Life Saving NSW spoke with some Aboriginal leaders within Surf Life Saving.
