Children’s Week is coming – Children have the right to relax, play and enjoy activities

Children’s Week will be celebrated in Australia from Saturday 21 – Sunday 29 October 2023, with this year’s theme being “Children have the right to relax, play and to take part in activities they enjoy,” which recognises children’s voices, and encourages participation and play.

Children’s Week celebrates the right of children to enjoy childhood. It is also a time for children to demonstrate their talents, skills and abilities.

Thousands of children and their families around the country are involved in activities and events through the participation of schools, playgroups, early childhood education, kindergartens, cultural groups, libraries, departments and community groups.

A number of resources have been developed to celebrate Children’s Week, including: 

• Children’s Week 2023 poster
• Children’s Week song
• Children of Australia song
• Children’s Week website banner
• Children’s Week social media tile
• Children’s Week signature block
