It’s National Families Week

Today marks the beginning of National Families Week 2025. This is a yearly initiative from Families Australia that celebrates the critical role that families play in teaching, supporting and nurturing children as they grow.

This year’s theme is ‘Lending a Hand to Thrive: Supporting Each Other’. It highlights the importance of connection, care, and resilience within families. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the strength of family bonds, reconnect with loved ones, and embrace activities that bring us together.

During National Families Week, we have an opportunity to spend time and reconnect with family, near or far. Families Australia have a range of suggested activities(Opens external website) you can try at any time.
