NAIDOC Poster Audio Tour

To celebrate NAIDOC 2025, the UQ Life team has created an interactive audio tour featuring five NAIDOC Week posters, each corresponding to significant milestones in UQ’s ongoing Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) journey.

Listen to short audio pieces that explore the significance of these milestones, their impact on the UQ community, and how they contribute to UQ’s broader reconciliation efforts.
