Calendar of NSW Aboriginal significant events and celebrations

This interactive calendar highlights important dates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in NSW.

The calendar is an opportunity to recognise important historic events, call all Australians to action, and celebrate the culture and contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The calendar provides ideas about how to acknowledge or celebrate official events and anniversaries of defining moments in Aboriginal history.

How to use the calendar

Click on each event to find out:

  • why it’s important
  • ideas for acknowledging or celebrating the event
  • links to websites with information, ideas and resources to help design and promote your event.

We encourage you to do your own research about important dates relevant to your agency or local community and to be pro-active in planning your next event.
