National Families Week 2025
12-18 May 2025
'Lending a Hand to Thrive: Supporting Each Other'
National Families Week is a time to celebrate with your family, connect with your extended family and friends, and share in the enjoyment of family activities within the wider community. No matter where you live – in our major cities or a remote community in the country – all Australians, including community organisations, schools, councils, companies and individuals are invited to participate in National Families Week each year.
The aim of National Families Week is to not only celebrate the vital role that families play in Australian society, but to also reflect on the critical role that families play in teaching, supporting and nurturing children as they grow.
Join Camden Council and partnered community service providers for a week of family fun and celebration! Full program found here Families Week 2025 Program
