National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day - 4th of August 2024

The theme for 2024 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day, Strong in Culture, Stronger Together, elevates the intention of Children’s Day, focusing on the strength of our children that comes from their connection to culture and mob.

This year we stand with our children, proud of their culture, stories, kin and community – all that makes our children special, resilient and the bright leaders of our future. We hope that this year’s Children’s Day theme empowers our children, making them feel proud of who they are and where they come from. Showing them that their culture is one of the most sacred, strong and important assets that they can have. If our children are strong in culture, then they are strong in their identity, and this is important for future generations to come.

Each year on the 4th of August, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities – and all Australians – come together to celebrate the strengths and culture of our children. As always, we will be marking the day on August 4 to commemorate the origins of Children’s Day. This year’s Children’s Day falls on a Sunday, so services and organisations are encouraged to hold their events on Friday, August 2 if they wish.

Our vision is for our children to thrive, be strong in culture and connected to kin and community – our children should be proud to come from the oldest living culture in the world
