R U OK? Day emphasises that every day is the right day to ask ‘are you okay’?

By starting a conversation, you could change a life. If the person says they are not okay, you can follow conversation steps to show them they’re supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are okay, that person will know you’re someone who cares enough to ask.

This year, R U OK? Day is on Thursday 11 September.

National Child Protection Week 2025 Theme: 

‘EVERY CONVERSATION MATTERS: 

Shifting Conversation to Action’

This year’s theme highlights that while open discussions are crucial, words alone are not enough: we must turn dialogue into meaningful action.

NAPCAN acknowledges that while conversations can raise awareness, challenge harmful norms, and spark new ideas, real change happens when we take steps to create safer environments for children that prevent them from harm.

This year, we are focusing on moving beyond conversations to concrete actions that prevent harm and instead, focussing on strengthening support systems, and empowering communities to actively protect children.

By shifting from conversation to action, we can ensure that every child not only feels heard but also experiences real safety, care, and protection.
