National Children's Week 2025: Everyone should know about Children's Rights
Children's Week is a national celebration. It recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children.
The event takes place in October every year, with thousands of Victorian children taking part in the festivities.
Children's Week 2025 will be held between 18 October - 26 October 2025.
The Children's Week theme for 2025 is: "Everyone should know about Children's Rights".
The theme is a simplified version of Article 42 of the UNCRC which states: "Parties undertake to make the principles and provisions of the Convention widely known, by appropriate and active means, to adults and children alike."
Local councils, not-for-profit organisations, schools and early childhood services organise a variety of events during Children's Week. These include open days, displays, special events, virtual spaces and online-based activities. The events celebrate childhood and showcase children's achievements.
All Children's Week events in Victoria are free to families with children aged up to 12 years. This gives Victorian families the opportunity to enjoy fun, engaging and educational experiences.
This page will be updated with information about the free Children's Week events in your local area in October.
Celebrating Children's Rights
Children's Week is a national event held annually around the fourth Wednesday in October, promoting awareness of children's rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
Led by the Children's Week Council of Australia, the week encourages national participation and supports children to be seen, heard, and celebrated in every community.
