Visitors to Caboolture Hospital may notice a special artefact on display next time they enter the facility.

The Dhoeri Headdress was crafted by Torres Strait Islander artist Thomas Pedro in 2022 to mark the 30th anniversary of the High Court's Mabo Decision, which overturned the concept that Australia was terra nullius - land belonging to no one - at the time of British colonisation.

Having spent the last 3 years in the Cairns Art Gallery, the headdress arrives at its new home in time for NAIDOC Week, with the help of the Caboolture Hospital Redevelopment Project.

Cultural Capability Officer, Janita explains the significance of the headdress.

"The headdress and other artefacts promote connection with Torres Strait Islander patients, visitors and community when attending the hospital," she said.

"It's a reminder to ask the question, 'Are you of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin?' to ensure we are providing culturally safe and appropriate care for those who need it."

2025 is the 50th year of NAIDOC Week, which continues until 13 July.
