HAVE A GO AT OLYMPIC SPORTS
The AOC has established and continued partnerships and collaborations with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stakeholders and other like-minded organisations. A summary of the partnerships and milestones achieved include:
Development of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and the AOC as a first step in collective action towards promoting reconciliation.
During NAIDOC Week 2022, the AOC, in partnership with the RAAF, visited Thursday Island in the Torres Strait Islands.
This community engagement visit included an incredible Welcome to Country (dance and traditional dinner delivered by locals), free community basketball day and lunch, and an opportunity for relationship building between Torres Strait community members, AOC personnel, Olympians and RAAF personnel.
WATCH / What. A. Trip! Smiles all round as the AOC has celebrated NAIDOC week with a visit to the Torres Strait to put on a basketball clinic for the local kids. Our thanks go to the Torres Strait community for welcoming us and teaching us about your culture.
