WANADA Celebrates NAIDOC Week
WANADA Celebrates NAIDOC Week
WANADA’s Rochelle McIntosh and Milliya Rumurra CEO Andrew Amor joined NAIDOC week celebrations in Kununurra earlier this month.
In 2025, NAIDOC Week marks a significant milestone, 50 years of recognising and elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, culture, and resilience. This year’s theme, “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy,” honours the achievements of the past while celebrating the future, shaped by the strength of young leaders, the vision of communities, and the enduring legacy of ancestors.
Andrew and Rochelle were in Kununurra and Wyndham in early July, assisting in a community-led initiative to help develop a culturally safe youth alcohol and other drug service in the Kimberley. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project so far.
