4 August is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day.

The 2025 theme Little Footsteps, Big Future honours the journeys First Nations children take as they grow—each step guided by culture, community and connection to Country.

SNAICC-National Voice for our Children is the national peak body representing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. SNAICC’s vision is for First Nations children to thrive, be strong in culture and connected to kin and community— children should be proud to come from the oldest living culture in the world.

It’s an opportunity for all Australians to show their support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and learn about the impact that culture, family and community play in the life of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child.

SINCE someone said Indigenous people don’t have cuisine, Nornie Bero has been on a mission to make native ingredients the hero of Australian cuisine – from high-end dining to everyday cooking at home.

It is rooted in her upbringing that revolved around cooking with her father and aunties while soaking up the rich cultural heritage of the Meriam people in the Torres Strait.

As part of our Lowitja Journal webinar series, we hosted a discussion exploring the world of peer review of Indigenous health scholarly works. From the role and benefits of reviewing, to key steps in the process and specific cultural considerations.

Professor Karen Adams and Professor Catherine Chamberlain shared their expertise, covering the complexities Indigenous and non-Indigenous reviewers navigate at the cultural interface, and offering practical examples of helpful (and not so helpful) reviews.

Whether you’re new to peer review or have been reviewing for some time, this session is a valuable resource.
