National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day celebrated on 4 August every year is an opportunity for all Australians to celebrate First Nations children and recognise the importance that culture, family and community play in the life of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child.

Catherine Rendell, a proud Dunghutti/Weilwen woman and Aboriginal Workforce Development Coordinator at LEAD Professional development Association Inc., shares what this year’s theme ‘ Little Voices, Loud Futures’ means.

This year, Children’s Day is about making our children’s voices as powerful as possible, now and into the future….paving a new path for our nation. We need to continue supporting the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in calling for a future where they are proud and empowered by their culture.

Let us together celebrate the strength, resilience, and needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children….as they are our culture, our voice and our future.
