Children’s Week is a national celebration that recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children.
It will run from Saturday 18 October to Sunday 26 October 2025 and thousands of Victorian children and families are expected to take part.
This year’s theme is ‘Everyone should know about Children’s Rights’. The theme is a simplified version of Article 42 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Celebrate together
During Children’s Week, local councils, not-for-profit organisations, schools and early childhood services will host in-person and online events and activities.
The department is supporting more than 240 free events and activities for children aged up to 12 years, giving families the chance to enjoy fun, engaging and educational experiences.
Spread the word
