An annual campaign led by NAPCAN that highlights the importance of ensuring all children and young people are safe, supported and able to thrive. This year’s campaign is driving a stronger national focus on shifting conversations into meaningful action, encouraging communities, organisations and governments to turn their commitment to child wellbeing into practical change that supports children and families.
2026 THEME
Every Conversation Matters, Shifting Conversation to Action
This year National Child Protection Week is driving a stronger national focus on shifting conversations into meaningful action.
Conversations can spark ideas, build understanding and encourage reflection. But meaningful change happens when those conversations lead to practical action that strengthens support for children and families.
National Child Protection Week helps turn conversation into action by bringing people across Australia together to share ideas, strengthen communities and prevent harm before it occurs. While the Week creates an important national moment, the campaign continues throughout the year, encouraging all of us to take steps that help children feel heard, valued, safe and supported.
By shifting conversation to action, we can help build communities where every child experiences real safety, care and protection.
