Families Week

Celebrate National Families Week!

Every year from 15-21 May, across Australia, National Families Week celebrates the vital role that families play in society. It’s a time to make contact with your extended family and friends, and share in the enjoyment of activities within the wider community.

Let’s celebrate the meaning of family and make the most of family life by joining us in some fun family activities through the week.
