Today, we celebrate the strength, culture, and bright futures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children across Australia.
National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day is a time to recognise the importance of culture, family, community, and connection to Country in supporting children’s wellbeing, identity, and development.
The 2026 theme, “Living Our Truth,” celebrates the power of truth-telling, the sharing of knowledge between generations, and the voices and stories of children, families, Elders, and communities.
As a regional hospital, we acknowledge the vital role that culture, connection and community play in creating healthier futures for all children. We honour the wisdom of Elders, the strength of families, and the resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Today and every day, we celebrate children and the important place they hold in our communities. 💛🖤❤️
