From corporate breakfasts to office morning teas, this week workplaces across Australia will mark NAIDOC Week. Held in early July every year, it’s a celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ history, culture and achievements.
But even as work colleagues get together to celebrate NAIDOC Week, our recent research shows racism against Indigenous workers is still common. More than half (58%) Indigenous people we surveyed reported experiencing racism sometimes, often, or very often at work.
