In 2026, NAIDOC Week will be held from 5 to 12 July. This year’s theme, 50 Years of Deadly, marks five decades of NAIDOC Week and honours the people, communities, Elders, artists, organisers and leaders who have carried the movement forward.
The Australian Government’s proposed Securing the NDIS for Future Generations Bill 2026 has been delayed. This follows significant feedback through the Senate inquiry process and thousands of submissions from people with disability, families, providers and governments.
For Matthew, a support worker at Melba, Pride Month is both a celebration and a reminder of why visibility and belonging are so incredibly critical.
Respite can offer a short break in a safe, supported environment, giving everyone a chance to rest, reset and keep routines going.
What sets Melba apart is our unwavering commitment to understanding and working alongside people with complex support needs.

Melba Support Services acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises First Peoples’ continuing connection to lands, waters, and community.
