NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week is a national celebration of Indigenous history and achievement. In IBA’s Reconciliation Action Plan 2007–09, IBA asserted its commitment to identifying and rewarding excellence throughout its operations and to developing and promoting Indigenous events and achievements. Extensive participation in NAIDOC Week 2009 celebrations was one of the ways in which IBA demonstrated its commitment to reconciliation.

During NAIDOC Week, IBA reflects on its achievements during the year and showcases them. At the beginning of the 2008–09 reporting period, IBA held its inaugural NAIDOC major event in Canberra and launched its Corporate Plan for 2008–13. During NAIDOC Week 2009, in Brisbane, IBA announced and celebrated the appointment of its new Chair, Dr Dawn Casey.
