World Teachers' Day Australia is our annual celebration of educators across every school, classroom and community in the country. Join us in saying thank you.

World Teachers' Day was established by UNESCO in 1994 to celebrate the profession that makes every other profession possible. In Australia, we mark it on the last Friday of October.
Whether they taught us to read, to think, to listen, or to dare — teachers shape us. This is the day we tell them so.
A handwritten note from a former student means more than any flowers. Send one.
Tag #ThankATeacher across Instagram and LinkedIn to publicly thank an educator who changed your life.
Schools and parents — use our free downloadable assembly pack to mark the day at your school.
Submit a teacher for our annual Teachers' Choice recognition — featured in our national campaign.
"The reward isn't the holidays. It's the day a kid finally gets it."
"My favourite kind of student is the one who tells me, ten years later, I made a difference."
"You're not just teaching maths. You're teaching how to stay calm, curious and kind."
