Celebrating 50 Years of Deadly this NAIDOC Week.

2026 marks a milestone in the NAIDOC movement: a tribute to its histories & future.

This year's theme of NAIDOC Week is 50 Years of Deadly, marking a milestone of the histories, strengths, and identities of First Nation peoples — in the past, present, and in the next 50 years.

International Towers is focusing on empowering First Nation voices and leadership, driving systemic change by directly engaging with First Nations peoples, and building an approach centred on Country and community wellbeing. As we mark NAIDOC Week, we reaffirm our commitment to reconciliation, self-determination, and a stronger future for generations to come.

Alongside a partnership with International Towers with Impact Grant Recipient, the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) and their Talent Pathways Program, International Towers is sharing First Nations culture, art, and stories to start the ongoing celebration of the next 50 Years of Deadly.

This NAIDOC Week (Sunday, 5 July—Sunday, 12 July), here's how you can be a part of the action:

• Purchase (or win!) merchandise at the Deadly Pop-Up Shop:
  Featuring an exclusive collection of ILF x Clothing the Gaps merch, with artwork created by emerging First Nations artists. 100% of proceeds will support future Talent Pathways programs.
• Collect your next Connection Pin: 
  Available for pickup from the Lobby. These pins are a proud symbol in spreading awareness and celebrating NAIDOC Week.
• Discover your next Deadly Drop:
  It's round two of the year-long series of facts about First Nations culture and Country, appearing monthly on Amica. Just by participating, you'll be entered to win a prize from the Deadly Pop-Up Shop.
• Bid on flowers, support a great cause:
  Place a bid on beautiful native Australian flowers to take home. The winning contribution goes towards the ILF's Talent Pathways Program.
• Taste a native treat directly from a First Nations food business: 
  Keep your eyes on Amica to be the first to hear of it.

Once again, our NAIDOC artwork was created by Nardurna (Ryhia Dank), a Gudanji/Wakaja artist from the Northern Territory who is now based on Gubbi Gubbi Country. Dank's paintings tell stories through pattern and design in the footsteps of the Gudanji/Wakaja people. You'll see it firsthand around the building and on WorkLife.

This tribute to NAIDOC Week, past and future, is marked by art, education, storytelling, and growing change. Be a part of the celebration today.
