This week, Friday August 4, is National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day.
This important celebration offers an opportunity for all Australians to show their support for Aboriginal children, as well as learn about the crucial impact that community, culture and family play in the life of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child.
2017 marks the 30th year of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day, which is organised by the Secretariat of National Aboriginal and Islander Child Care (SNAICC), and the theme for this year's event is Value Our Rights, Respect Our Culture, Bring Us Home.

A new program designed to improve the mental health of Australia's children from early childhood right through until the end of secondary school has been unveiled by the Federal Government.
Mental health support and advocacy group beyondblue will lead 'a transformation in the development of good mental health and wellbeing practices for all Australian children' according to a press release.
The initiative is being funded by a $52.7 million grant over two years and beyondblue started developing and designing the groundwork in July.
