National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day (Children’s Day) is our national day dedicated and committed to celebrating our children. Children’s Day is celebrated across the country each year on the 4th of August. Children’s Day is a time Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities and all Australians, celebrate the strengths and culture of our children. It is an opportunity for us to show our support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, as well as learn about the crucial impact that culture, family and community play in the life of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child. Children’s Day has been run annually since 1988 and is the initiative of SNAICC National Voice for our Children.

13.01.2022 Alongside Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association, AFPS welcomes the signing of the comprehensive National Agreement on Closing the Gap. #StrongerTogether #KeepOurMobSafe #TheVolunteerSurgeons ---------------... AIDA President Kris Rallah-Baker said: The announcement today brings the most accountability we’ve seen in an agreement affecting the governments’ treatment of First Nations’ Peoples,. By attaching real targets to these priority reforms and involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the review process the effectiveness of programs targeting health outcomes for our Peoples can be measured.

12.01.2022 This week we are supporting and celebrating #DonateLifeWeek2020 , a national awareness week dedicated to promoting organ and tissue donation. It encourages Australians to register to be an organ and tissue donor, and to have a chat about it with their family and friends. While the majority of Australians believe it’s important to be an organ and tissue donor, only one in three are registered! Let's all inspire each other and help make a difference. #DonateLife #KeepOurMobSaf...e #StrongerTogether #TheVolunteerSurgeons Feel free to message us or head to https://donatelife.gov.au for more info and how to get involved!
