The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future.

Welcome Home: Victoria Congratulates our Athletes from Paris

Come join the official homecoming event for Victoria’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

At this free, family-friendly event you’ll be able to congratulate and rub shoulders with the Victorian Olympians and Paralympians who wore the green and gold in Paris.

Fans of all ages will be treated to a range of entertainment, with live sport activations, DJs, food trucks, and the chance to meet and interact with Victorian sporting stars. Bring your family, friends, your best selfie smile, something to be signed - and don’t forget to dress in green and gold.

The Victorian Government is partnering with the Australian Olympic Committee and City of Melbourne to host this event.
