Celebrating NAIDOC Week across NSLHD

Staff across the district have celebrated and recognised the rich history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples during NAIDOC Week. 

Events were held at Ryde, Royal North Shore and Hornsby hospitals with traditional performances to celebrate this year’s theme – ‘For Our Elders’. 

Director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service Peter Shine said: “This theme inspires all of us to celebrate the important role Aboriginal Elders have played and continue to play and the prominent place they hold in communities and families.
