Police on both sides of the Border are taking part in a variety of events as part of the bumper program for the week-long celebration that kicks off at Albury's QEII Square on Saturday, July 6 from 11am.

In fact Wodonga and Wangaratta police stations will literally be flying the flag for police efforts to work with greater understanding of the challenges faced by Aboriginal people.

Superintendent Moloney, the local region's divisional commander, has made a commitment to fly the Aboriginal flag alongside the Australian flag at all his stations in the future starting with Wodonga on Friday, July 12.

All community members are invited to a morning tea at the Wodonga station from 10am to 11.30am when the flag will be officially raised as part of the NAIDOC celebrations (the Wangaratta station will also host a morning tea on July 8 from 10am).

Together with the "driving force" of Inspector Joy Arbuthnot, the superintendent said the move to fly the flag at police stations was an important symbol of efforts to work with the indigenous community.

"I think this will help reflect that Aboriginal people are welcome at the station and also help build confidence that they feel they can come to us," Superintendent Moloney said.

He said that while police were engaged in many programs and activities at a community level across the North East, the NAIDOC morning teas provided a further opportunity to help break down barriers between police and Aboriginal people.

"It's a time to get together and reflect on some of the challenges Aboriginal people faced in the past and are confronted by now," he said.

"We want to ensure there is confidence that we are listening to them and that Aboriginal people feel valued in our local community."

Superintendent Moloney said this was particularly critical given the over-representation of Aboriginal people in the justice system.

"Victoria Police is committed to reducing this over-representation," he said.

"For me personally I see NAIDOC Week as an opportunity to reflect on how we can improve the wellbeing of Aboriginal people in our community.

"It is vital that we continue to forge stronger relationships and develop a greater understanding of what Aboriginal people have been subjected to in the past."

On July 9, there will be a luncheon bringing together Our Local National Treasures (elders) and Albury-Wodonga's Finest (police) at the Commercial Club Albury.

The Albury-Wodonga NAIDOC committee have on offer a wonderfully diverse program to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

From traditional smoking ceremonies and bush tucker to dance, art, music, movies and morning teas, the whole community is invited to join in the festivities.

The Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation will celebrate its 25th year as a corporation with an evening gathering around the fire during NAIDOC Week.

Albury-Wodonga residents are invited to bring along a chair and a blanket to the community event on Thursday, July 11 from 4pm to 7.30pm.

There will be dinner, lucky-door prizes, and information stalls along with an outdoor movie and and live music by Rachael Oak Butler.

"NAIDOC Week is an important opportunity for all community to come together to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture," said the corporation's Denise Ezzy.

"We are fortunate to have such a wide variety of events in the Albury-Wodonga region starting at QEII Square on Saturday, July 6 and running through to Saturday, July 14."

Ms Ezzy said this year's theme "Voice. Treaty. Truth." inspired us to tell the true story of colonisation.

"This is not just the history of our First Peoples - it is the history of all of us, of all of Australia, and we need to own it.

"Then we can move forward together."
