Celebrating NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week, held from Sunday, July 7th to Sunday, July 14th, 2024, is a time for all Australians to celebrate and acknowledge the rich history, culture, and ongoing achievements of our First Nations peoples. This year's theme, "Keep the Fire Burning!", calls for all of us to continue the fight for social justice, equality, and a brighter future for Indigenous Australians.

At IWS (Indigenous Work Place Services), we share this commitment. We believe that creating a truly inclusive workforce starts with empowering Indigenous Australians to reach their full potential.
