Today marks National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day! 🖤 💛 ❤️ 💙 💚 🤍
Since 1988, August 4th has been an ongoing annual celebration of our children and the next generation growing up strong in culture and connected to family, community and Country.
This year's theme is Living Our Truth which is about recognising the importance of truth-telling as a foundation for identity, belonging and cultural strength, and honours the role of Elders and community in passing knowledge to the next generation.
Children's Day is an opportunity for all Australians to acknowledge that our children are the next generation of story-tellers and change-makers.
Together we can make sure that our children and young people grow up safe, strong, connected to culture and supported to reach their full potential.
