CHILDREN'S WEEK NT

The 2025 theme is based on Article 42 of The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child:

Everyone should know about Children’s Rights.

Children’s Week 2025 will be held between 18 October – 26 October 2025.

Children’s Week is Australia’s national celebration of children’s rights, held annually in October. In the Northern Territory, NAPCAN (NT) leads local programming that aligns with the national theme: “Everyone should know about children’s rights” (UNCRC Article 42).

From 18 to 26 October 2025, we invite communities across Darwin, Alice Springs, Katherine and remote regions to host, attend and celebrate children’s voices, creativity, and rights.

Why This Matters Locally

  • Many children in NT live in remote or First Nations communities raising awareness of rights and giving voice is especially important.
  • This is a chance to spotlight NT stories, culture and children’s perspectives in the Territory.

“Every child has a right to know their rights – that means governments, families, schools and communities must make information about children’s rights accessible to all children.”
