Children’s Week is a national celebration that recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children.
It will run from Saturday 18 October to Sunday 26 October 2025, with thousands of Victorian children and families expected to take part.
This year’s theme is ‘Everyone should know about Children’s Rights’, based on Article 42 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Celebrate together
During Children’s Week, local councils, not-for-profit organisations, schools and early childhood services will host in-person and online events and activities that celebrate childhood and showcase children’s achievements.
The department is supporting more than 240 free Children’s Week events and activities for Victorian families with children aged up to 12 years. This gives families the opportunity to enjoy fun, engaging and educational experiences.
