[ WHAT'S ON ]

BADAC receives alerts from various agencies and organisations about public events that may be of interest to the local Aboriginal community.

We also either host or participate in events that benefit our local community.

 

[ IMPORTANT ATSI DATES ]

BADAC recognises that the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) peoples in Australia is marked by many significant dates and milestones. It is important to celebrate our history, be it a sad event or a proud achievement.

We acknowledge the Wadawurrung people and their ancestors who have been custodians of the Ballarat area for thousands of years performing age old Cultural ceremonies, celebrations and traditions. We also acknowledge the Ballarat Aboriginal community, many of whom were forcibly removed from their families during the Stolen Generations decades, and brought to Ballarat, and we pay our respects to all Elders past, present and emerging.
