1 Hero Hunter Day April 1, 2026

2 World Autism Day 2026 April 2, 2026 Today is World Autism Day! April 2nd is all about getting to know the people who make up our wonderful community – acknowledging the strengths, achievements, and uniqueness of people on the Autism spectrum. World Autism Day builds understanding and ignites change for good, allowing us to learn and grow together as one community.

11 World Parkinson's Day April 11, 2026 On Saturday, April 11th, 2026, Parkinson’s Western Australia will be joining states across Australia in illuminating iconic buildings and landmarks in purple in honour of World Parkinson’s Day. This initiative has been supported by all states in Australia for over 10 years and we aim to continue supporting this initiative to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease and show solidarity with the estimated 15,000-25,000 Western Australians living with the condition, as well as their families and caregivers. Purple is the nationally recognised colour for Parkinson’s disease, symbolising hope, and support. By lighting up your landmarks in purple, you’ll help bring attention to the daily challenges faced by those affected and contribute to a national effort to raise awareness about this condition.

16 World Voice Day April 16, 2026 This World Voice Day, we are lighting up The Bell Tower to show support for those who have lost their voice or live with dysphonia. Why focus on ‘voice’? Because unlike vision or hearing, our voice is very often taken for granted, we open our mouths to speak and our words come out. Most people will relate to the frustration of having lost their voice at some time, (usually after a big night out or cheering at a football game), but for those with dysphonia, that frustration is a permanent way of life. Help the Australian Dysphonia Network to spread the word.

17 World Haemophilia Day April 17, 2026 This year’s theme is Diagnosis: First step to care. The WFH estimates that over three-quarters of the population of people with hemophilia worldwide are undiagnosed, and an even more significant gap also exists for other bleeding disorders. This means that hundreds of thousands of people with bleeding disorders around the world still lack access to basic care. In particular, women and girls with bleeding disorders still face many challenges to receiving a diagnosis, delaying their access to treatment and care. World Haemophilia Day 2026 is an opportunity to raise awareness and provide education on bleeding disorders, sharing stories from our community and encouraging everyone to come together in support of people with bleeding disorders. World Haemophilia Day was started in 1989 by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH), choosing 17 April in honour of WFH founder Frank Schnabel’s birthday.

19 Global Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Day April 19, 2026 Global Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Day occurs annually on April 19th. CDH occurs when a baby's diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth. The cause is still unknown, which calls for more research and awareness. www.cdhi.org
