World Teachers’ Day is on Friday 31 October 2025 – a day dedicated to recognising the incredible work you do in educating, inspiring and supporting children and young people across Australia.
Did you know that teachers are consistently among the most trusted professionals worldwide, according to surveys such as the annual Edelman Trust Barometer?
We also know high-quality teaching is the single most significant in-school factor influencing learner outcomes. Together, this trust and impact are powerful – and worth celebrating. Behind every moment of learning is a teacher’s expertise, care and commitment to helping children and young people thrive. And I know that every day you do this, navigating challenges and juggling the many demands of your learning environment, is no small feat.
Whether you’re just starting out, well into your teaching career, or leading learning in early childhood settings or schools, your work changes lives.
This World Teachers’ Day, Australia will be tipping its hats to you. We invite everyone across the country to join the “Hats Off to Teachers” moment by sharing a photo with #WorldTeachersDay2025 and tagging @aitsl on social media. It’s a simple, joyful way for people everywhere to show their appreciation – and for you to take time to feel proud of the impact you make every day.
