Celebrating Aboriginal Culture (Australia Day) Grant Program

The Northern Territory Government is committed to evolving Australia Day to ensure it meaningfully acknowledges, recognises and celebrates Aboriginal culture and Aboriginal people’s contribution to our Northern Territory identity.

The Celebrating Aboriginal Culture (Australia Day) Grant aims to provide funding which contributes to celebrating Aboriginal culture, language history and achievements as part of the Northern Territory’s Australia Day celebrations, aiming to strike a balance between commemoration and a respectful celebration of Australia Day.

The grant is an important component of the Northern Territory’s ‘Everyone Together’ Aboriginal Affairs Strategy that recognises the importance of ‘truth and healing’ by empowering Aboriginal Territorians to celebrate and recognise key events how they wish to, along with educating broader Territorians.
