‘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. This year, NAPCAN 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. A number of events are being run online this week. For more information, visit www.napcan.org.au/official-program-webinars-events-2025
