Celebrating NAIDOC Week across NSW and ACT: Art, Culture, and Connection

Jul 14, 2025

Teams across NSW and ACT came together, both online and in office spaces to celebrate NAIDOC Week, a time dedicated to honouring the history, culture, and achievements of First Nations People.

Programmed Facility Management team members across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory came together, both online and in office spaces to celebrate NAIDOC Week, a time dedicated to honouring the history, culture, and achievements of First Nations People.

The celebrations provided a meaningful opportunity to deepen understanding and reaffirm Programmed’s commitment to reconciliation. Teams explored the newly launched Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), which outlines a continued journey of walking alongside First Nations communities to build a more inclusive and respectful future.

A standout moment of the week was a session led by Lynette Graham, National Social Inclusion Manager, who shared insights into the traditions and symbolism of Aboriginal art. Participants learned about the diverse styles and symbols used across regions, and how art serves as a powerful tool for storytelling and intergenerational communication.

Artworks created by our team members during NAIDOC week

Inspired by the session, several teams created their own contemporary artworks, drawing on themes of connection, culture, and community. The creativity on display was impressive, and the artworks will soon be showcased across office locations as a vibrant reflection of the values celebrated during NAIDOC Week.

Teams across our Homes NSW team in Parramatta and Wagga Wagga also celebrated NAIDOC

The artworks stand as a powerful tribute to the spirit of NAIDOC Week—bold, thoughtful, and deeply connected to culture. The creativity and commitment shown by teams across NSW and ACT is a testament to the strength of community and the shared journey toward reconciliation.
