Last updated: 29 Nov 2024

Our commitment to representation and evidence-based solutions

We are dedicated to ensuring the voices of children, young people and their families are represented at all levels of government.

We are proactive in preparing submissions to governmental bodies and other relevant stakeholders. These submissions serve as powerful advocacy tools, highlighting the needs and concerns of children, families and the workforce that supports them.

Our research initiatives generate valuable insights into the challenges faced by children and families and potential solutions to address these challenges. With a firm commitment to evidence-based practices, our research not only informs our own work but also contributes to broader discussions and policymaking processes.
