The National Child Protection Week posters for 2022 have been created to represent the theme “Every child in every community needs a fair go”. Beautiful artwork received from children across Australia shows the incredible diversity in thought and representation of community.

The artworks on this poster were produced by the children and staff of Ronald McDonald House Charities Western Australia (RMHC WA) in collaboration with Dandjoo Darbalung – an Indigenous Support Program at St. Catherine’s Tertiary College in Western Australia. Young people from the Dandjoo Darbalung program facilitated the family crest artwork with the children at RMHC WA, teaching them the meaning of a variety of Indigenous symbols.
