Our two pre-prep rooms participated in this event. A wonderful morning full of culture and community. š
Northern Health has proudly joined communities across the country in celebrating NAIDOC Week 2026, recognising and honouring the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
On Friday 3 July, the Narrun Wilip-giin Aboriginal Support Unit, in partnership with Kilmore District Hospital, hosted a NAIDOC Week Flag Raising Ceremony at Kilmore District Hospital.
The event commenced with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony led by Taungurung Elder and Traditional Owner Aunty Jo Honeysett, providing a meaningful and respectful beginning to the celebrations.
The ceremony brought together staff, community members and guests, including Elder Darryl Leggo, who shared reflections with those gathered.
Blair Colwell, Mental Health Aboriginal Liaison Officer said, "NAIDOC Week is an opportunity for all of us to come together to celebrate the strength, resilience and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Creating culturally safe spaces where people feel welcomed, respected, safe and heard is essential to improving health and wellbeing, and events like these help strengthen our connections with community.ā
