Celebrate Children's Week 2025
Children’s Week is a national celebration of children’s rights, held each year across Australia. 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 will be held between 18 October – 26 October in 2025. This year’s theme is “Everyone should know about Children’s Rights”.
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.
