Minister for Indigenous Australians
The Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, is proud to congratulate the exceptional individuals who are recipients of the 2024 NAIDOC Awards.
The awards were announced tonight in Adelaide at the 2024 National NAIDOC Awards Ceremony ahead of NAIDOC Week.
With 28 finalists shortlisted from almost 200 entrants across 10 categories, it was a tough job for the National NAIDOC Committee to select the winners of the 2024 awards.
Through their incredible achievements, each and every one of tonight's winners reflect the 'Keep the fire burning! Blak, loud & proud' theme of this year's NAIDOC Week, which will be held across the country from 7 to 14 July.
