What is NAIDOC Week?

Every July, NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

With NAIDOC week celebrations in full swing, the ATO are constantly working towards better meeting the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses and supporting the contributions they make across Australia.
