MCA acknowledges NAIDOC Week 2023

The MCA acknowledges the guidance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders during NAIDOC Week 2023.

This year’s theme, For Our Elders, highlights the significant role of Elders in our communities.

Their leadership, wisdom and links to the rich cultures across Australia ensure that generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will know their Dreaming.

The minerals industry continues to learn from the knowledge and experiences of the Elders across our operational locations.

Their graciousness in passing on their knowledge to our industry ensures appropriate consideration of their tangible and intangible cultural heritage around our operations.

NAIDOC Week 2023 is an opportunity for all Australians to learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, and participate in activities and events held across the country.

With approximately 6000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people directly employed in our industry and countless more through our supply chains, the MCA and the entire minerals industry wishes everyone a happy NAIDOC Week 2023.
