Apology Anniversary
2024-02-13
13 February each year marks the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, who suffered trauma because of past government policies of forced child removal.

Many of these removals occurred as the result of laws and policies aimed at assimilating the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population into the predominately white community.

Stolen Generations survivors are some of Australia’s most vulnerable people and many have kept their stories and experiences secret for many years, even decades.

Through hearing the resilient stories of Stolen Generations survivors there is now a willingness for Australians to join in on the healing journey. To be part of solutions into the future. This is the spirit of the anniversary.

International Epilepsy Day
2024-02-12
International Epilepsy Day, celebrated each year on the 2nd Monday of February, is an opportunity to raise awareness of epilepsy, what it is, how it can be treated, and what is needed to bring treatment to all people who need it.

The ability of health workers to diagnose epilepsy, the availability of medicines and research into the health and social care response to epilepsy are just three areas of action for WHO and partners.

Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year)
2024-02-10
Lunar New Year (also known as Spring Festival or Chinese New Year) is the most important holiday in China and Chinese communities around the world.
How do you wish someone “Happy New Year” in Chinese? It depends on who you’re talking to. In China, the official language is Mandarin. Gong xi fa cai is how Mandarin speakers wish you a happy new year — meaning “wishing you to be prosperous in the coming year.” Many overseas Chinese communities speak Cantonese. Gung hay fat choy is how Cantonese speakers wish you a happy new year—meaning “wishing you great happiness and prosperity.”
The celebration generally includes family and friends, feasting and fireworks, and parties and parades.

Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day is a global initiative to raise awareness of online safety issues. The eSafety Commissioner leads the initiative in Australia. It educates people about online safety risks, like online abuse, how to be safe online and where to go for help.
This Safer Internet Day, you are encouraged to take three simple actions when approaching online safety: Connect. Reflect. Protect.

Connect safely by keeping apps and devices secure and reviewing your privacy settings regularly.
Reflect on how your actions online may affect others or your safety.
Protect yourself and others by visiting eSafety.gov.au to find out how to stay safe online and report online abuse.

By doing these things and sharing the Connect. Reflect. Protect message, we can work towards making every day a Safer Internet Day.

Australia Day / Survival Day (Public Holiday)
2024-01-26
January 26 has multiple meanings: it is Australia Day for some, and it is Survival Day for others.
Some First Australians (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have mixed feelings about celebrating this day – some consider it a day of mourning, and others use the day to mark the survival of their ongoing traditions and cultures.
It’s important that these views are respected and that we have constructive conversations about how we can move forward together as a nation.
Our national day provides an opportunity to acknowledge and learn about our nation’s past. It’s a time to reflect on and learn about our national journey including the ongoing history, traditions and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
