Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day aims to empower children by instilling pride in their heritage and highlighting the importance of their cultural identity as a sacred, strong and valuable asset.


In 1998, the first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day was established. August 4th is the commemorative birthdate given to all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed and displaced from their families, communities, Countries, and Cultures. Whilst birthdays are times to celebrate and create new memories, August 4 is a time for reflection and recognition of all the children who today are known as the Stolen Generation or Stolen Children.


How are you supporting children to be strong in their culture and identity?

Reflect as a team on what you do and do not know about the history, events and injustices of Children’s Day becoming a significant date on the calendar of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
