NAIDOC WEEK LUNCH

Tuesday 8 July 2025
12:00pm - 2:00pm AEST

Join us in the heart of Naarm for a special NAIDOC Week lunch. A curated lineup of inspiring First Nations women will reflect on this year’s theme: The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.

We are delighted to welcome Gabrielle Ebsworth back as our host for a second year in a row. A proud Wangkumara and Barkindji woman, Gabrielle grew up on Wiradjuri Country. She is an Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) alumna whose ongoing work is grounded in community, culture and connection to Country.
