Celebrate Children’s Week (19 – 27 October 2019)

‘Children’s health starts with healthy communities’ is the message of this year’s Children’s Week, based on the theme that: 

‘You have the right to the best health care possible, safe water to drink, nutritious food, a clean and safe environment, and information to help you stay well’. (Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child)

See NAPCAN’s Children’s Week page for a range of resources to help you play your part in creating the healthy communities that children need to thrive.
