Children's Week 2024

The Commissioner for Children and Young People is pleased to launch Children’s Week in Western Australia at the Bullsbrook Community Event.

The free event is organised by Meerilinga Children and Community Foundation (Meerilinga) who are the convenors of Children’s Week in WA.

Children’s Week is an important annual event dedicated to celebrating children and promoting the Rights of the Child (as proclaimed by the United Nations in 1954).

This year’s Children’s Week theme celebrates Article 24, ‘Children have the right to a clean and safe environment’.

A diverse range of events and activities have been organised by Meerilinga across the metro area and many more events will be held across WA. To check what’s happening in your area, visit Children’s Week WA for a list of events.

Meerilinga also have launched two podcasts on the theme, about how to create safe environments for kids, as well as a podcast hearing from some of our younger conservationists. Check out the podcasts here.

Throughout the week, photographs that positively showcase images of children from Western Australia will be displayed on the large Digital Tower at Yagan Square in Perth.
