#NAIDOCWeek | Last week staff immersed themselves in special activities right around the country in celebration of NAIDOC Week. From learning about the Ngunnawal native plants, we have #OnCampus, to attending the annual Flag Raising Ceremony in the heart of Melbourne, to hearing firsthand from First Nations Olympians, to running through the streets of Canberra – each initiative was an opportunity to deepen our understanding about First Nations culture and celebrate our diversity across the workplace.

Athletes have welcomed the Australian Government’s decision to invest a record $283 million in sport over the next two years. Prime Minister The Hon Anthony Albanese made the announcement at the Australian Institute Of Sport alongside the Minister for Sport, The Hon Anika Wells. The impact of this historic investment, which doubles the existing support for para sport, was not lost on the dozens of athletes in attendance, including Olympic legend Cate Campbell. “Athletes don't reach the pinnacle of their sport overnight,” Cate Campbell said. “There are years and years spent working and toiling away to get to the point where you can compete for your country, so to support up-and-coming athletes become elite athletes is so important.” Cate Campbell especially welcomed the $17.6 million investment over two years to the Direct Athlete Support Grants (dAIS) to address cost of living pressures.
