National Families Week
National Families Week
National Families Week 2012 will be held between 15-21 May 2012. If you would like to receive information on National Families Week 2012 please email us.
Each year, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of organisations celebrate National Families Week - Australia's annual celebration of families.
National Families Week is timed to coincide with the United Nations International Day of Families on 15 May. This day is observed by the United Nations to mark the importance that the international community places on families as the most fundamental units of society, as well as to draw attention to the plight of families in many parts of the world.
All Australians, including community organisations, schools, councils, companies and individuals are invited to participate in National Families Week each year.
Information on the theme will be available shortly.
Material to assist you in promoting your event will be available closer to the Week. Products will include posters, balloons, temporary tattoos and notepads.
It is important to let us know if you are having an event to celebrate National Families Week so we can send the promotional products to you. Registrations will be open at the beginning of February.
The poster, logos, pro-forma media release and a promotional article will be available closer to the Week.
If you require further information on National Families Week, please email us.
The Australian Government, through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, funds National Families Week with Families Australia. Centrelink also promotes National Families Week and provides support through its national network.
