National Families Week is held every year between 15 and 21 May.
Over a hundred thousand people get involved in hundreds of community events during the Week in Australia’s biggest celebration of families in all their diversity.
National Families Week coincides with the United Nations International Day of Families on 15 May. This day is observed by the United Nations to mark the importance that the international community places on families as the most fundamental units of society, as well as to show concern about their situation in many parts of the world.
All Australians, including community organisations, schools, councils, companies and individuals are invited to participate in National Families Week each year.
The enduring theme is ‘Stronger Families, Stronger Communities’.
This theme continues to highlight the important role families play as the central building block of our communities and deliver the message that community wellbeing is enhanced by family wellbeing.
Annually, over 130,000 people are register to attend events around Australia from Thursday Island to southern Tasmania.
National Families Week is sponsored by the Australian Government Department of Social Services.
Please join us in celebrating the vital role that families play through National Families Week!
