This year National Child Protection Week will run from 7 – 13 September 2025.
Keep an eye on this page for resources that will be added in the lead-up to the week.
Every conversation matters—but words alone are not enough.
This year’s National Child Protection Week theme, ‘Every conversation matters: Shifting Conversation to Action,’ reminds us that while dialogue is essential when it comes to raising awareness, challenging harmful norms, and sparking new ideas, real change is only possible when we turn those conversations into meaningful action.
NAPCAN is committed to moving beyond talk, focusing on concrete steps that prevent harm to children. Through strengthening prevention and advocacy initiatives, we’re empowering communities to actively protect every child, ensuring they not only feel heard but truly experience safety, care, and protection.
