Across the Geelong region, during Children's Week, local organisations are invited to apply for Children's Week Grants to hold events and activities for children and their families.
These are a great opportunity to connect with local services and supports in a fun and engaging way.
The theme for Children’s Week 2026 is, taken from Article 30 of the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child, is:
Children have the right to use their own language, celebrate their culture and practise their religion
