What’s on at WELFDC
Children’s Week
18th October - 26th October 2025
Children's Week is a national celebration. It recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children. The event takes place in October every year, with thousands of Victorian children taking part in the festivities.
Children’s Week 2025 will be held between 18th October- 26th October 2025
The theme for Children’s Week 2025 is based on UNCRC Article 42: States Parties undertake to make the principles and provisions of the Convention widely known, by appropriate and active means, to adults and children alike.
Local councils, not-for-profit organisations, schools and early childhood services organise a variety of events during Children's Week. These include open days, displays, special events, virtual spaces and online-based activities. The events celebrate childhood and showcase children's achievements.
All Children's Week events in Victoria are free to families with children aged from birth to 12 years. The events are a great opportunity for families to enjoy fun, engaging and educational experiences.
Early Childhood Educator’s Day
Early Childhood Educators’ Day recognises & celebrates the work of Australia’s educators in early learning services (long day care, family day care, kindergarten/preschools and occasional care) for their wonderful contribution to the wellbeing and healthy development of the young children in their care.
It’s our chance to say a huge thank you to Australia’s early childhood educators on a very personal level by service operators, families and their children, as well as collectively at the national and state levels.
