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.
Children are invited to take part in our 2026 poster competition, reflecting next year's national Children’s Week theme: “Children have the right to use their own language, celebrate their culture and practise their religion.”
This is a wonderful opportunity for children to explore their creativity, share their unique perspectives, and celebrate what culture, language, and belonging mean to them. All entries will help shine a light on the rich diversity of children’s voices across our communities.
