At Care Park, we are proud to join communities across Australia in celebrating NAIDOC Week 2024. This significant week, running from July 7th to July 14th, is dedicated to recognising the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NAIDOC Week holds a special place in the hearts of Australians as a time to acknowledge and celebrate the oldest continuous living cultures on earth. It provides an opportunity for all Australians to come together and engage in activities that honour the rich heritage and traditions of Indigenous communities.
This year’s theme celebrates the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to stand in solidarity, amplifying the voices that have long been silenced.”Blak, Loud and Proud” encapsulates the unapologetic celebration of Indigenous identity. This theme calls for a reclamation of narratives, an amplification of voices, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality. It 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.
At Care Park, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We believe that recognising and respecting the contributions of Indigenous Australians is crucial to building a more equitable society. Our commitment extends beyond words; it is reflected in our policies, practices, and community engagement efforts.
