This week is National Families Week. Held from 15 and 21 May each year, this annual celebration aims to focus attention on the vital role that families play in Australian society. The enduring theme is ‘Stronger Families, Stronger Communities’. This theme continues to highlight families as a central building block of our communities and the message that community wellbeing is enhanced by family wellbeing.
National Families Week also coincides with the United Nations International Day of Families on 15 May. This day is observed by the United Nations to mark the importance that the international community places on families as the most fundamental units of society.
As an organisation built around the principle of supporting families, we believe in and celebrate the importance of the family unit and are grateful for the opportunity to work with the diverse range of families that come through our doors at the QEII Family Centre each day.
