About us
The Children’s Week Council of Australia is responsible for encouraging and supporting the widest possible participation of all States and Territories in Children’s Week. Children’s Week is an annual event celebrated in Australia held around the fourth Wednesday in October. A diverse range of events and activities are organised at National, State and Local levels. These focus the attention of the wider community on children, their rights and achievements. Children’s Week celebrates the right of children to enjoy childhood.

In 2025 we will be celebrating 35 Years of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child! Children are invited to participate in our poster competition reflecting the 2025 theme ‘Everyone should know about Children’s Rights!’.
The winning artwork will be professionally adapted and reproduced for the 2025 National Children’s Week Poster.
Entries close Friday, 7 February 2025.
