NAIDOC Week may only be seven days long, but it serves as an important reminder of the changes we must all continue to strive for in the journey to Reconciliation. This year’s theme ‘Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud and proud’ celebrates the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to stand in solidarity, amplifying the voices that have long been silenced. Earlier this week Adam Goodes joined our team in Australia for an insightful discussion about the highs and lows of his career as a professional AFL player, his efforts to tackle racism and advice for allies, and the work he is doing with the GO Foundation - The Goodes O'Loughlin Foundation. Thank you Adam for sharing your inspiring story with us. Together, we can keep the fire burning. #NAIDOC2024 #NAIDOCWeek #BlakLoudProud
