SBS proudly supports National NAIDOC Week across the network with a huge programming line-up, along with extensive multiplatform and multilingual coverage, and educational resources celebrating the history, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Each July, stories and moments bring Australians together, and explore the year’s National NAIDOC Week theme.
In 2025, the theme is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.
This year SBS Learn published it’s seventh NAIDOC Week curriculum-aligned teacher resource. This popular guide features NAIDOC-themed activities, discussions and clips to enable teachers to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into primary and secondary classrooms, year-round. The resource is authored by proud Yankunytjatjara, Kokatha and Wirangu woman Shelley Ware, marking Shelley’s seventh SBS Learn NAIDOC Week resource.
We also recommend teachers completing this Protocols Guide on SBS Learn before exploring any First Nations materials in your classroom.
SBS’s NAIDOC Week project proudly continues the work set out in SBS’s Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan 2022-2026. This Plan outlines SBS’s commitment to reflecting, exploring and embedding First Nations stories, knowledges, cultures and languages across the network, and to connecting the oldest continuous culture on Earth with the newest Australians.
