50 Years of Deadly

NAIDOC Week 2026 will be held from Sunday 5 July - Sunday 12 July and is an opportunity for all Australians to come together and celebrate the rich history, diverse cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The 2026 theme, 50 Years of Deadly, marks a milestone: 50 years of honouring and elevating Indigenous voices, culture, and resilience. It’s a tribute to the people who built this movement, including Elders, organisers, artists and communities. This NAIDOC Week is about looking back at the stories, the marches, the languages, the art, the leadership.*

During NAIDOC Week, we celebrate not just a milestone but a movement that endures, grows, and evolves - driven by the unwavering strength of communities.

We’re committed to providing an inclusive and accessible environment. Westfield is a proud participant in the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme which helps to support and raise awareness for people living with a hidden disability.

We also offer 'Quiet Time’ every Tuesday between 10:30am and 11:30am with our centre lights dimmed and music volume adjusted. At some centres, beyond the common areas, many of our retailers will also participate by dimming the lights and lowering the music in their stores during ‘Quiet Time’.
