Children's Week is an annual event celebrated in Australia held around the fourth Wednesday in October. In 1996 it was decided to adopt a permanent theme: "A Caring World Shares" as a reflection of Children's Week aims while at the same time acknowledging the designated year on national posters and other printed materials.
This years theme is: 'Children's views and opinions are respected. They have the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child and the right to be heard.' 'Children's views and opinions are respected. They have the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child and the right to be heard.'
A diverse range of events and activities are organised at National, State and Local levels. These focus the attention of the wider community on children, their needs and achievements.
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.
