Nominations open for 2025 Premier's NAIDOC Award

Nominations are now open for this year's Premier's NAIDOC Award, recognising individuals who have made an extraordinary contribution to the lives of Aboriginal South Australians. 

NAIDOC Week this year will be held from July 6-13 with the theme, "The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy". 

Coinciding with NAIDOC Week, the Premier's Award is a celebration of the achievement of those Aboriginal South Australians who have made a real difference in the lives of Aboriginal people around the State. 

Last year’s Award recipients were community leaders Sandy Miller – a founding member of the Wakwakurna Kanyini peak body which advocates for Aboriginal children in care – and Wayne Miller, who is dedicated to building opportunities for young Aboriginal South Australians.
This year’s Awards also include the Dr Alice Rigney Prize, which is open to Aboriginal students in years 10-12 who are enrolled in a public school or state-run education, and celebrates their commitment to education.

Nominations for the Premier’s Award close on Friday 6 June.
