Speak out with and for children and families
Every day, our staff advocate on behalf of children to make sure their interests are prioritised and their families are supported to get the help they need. At a national level, we advocate on policy affecting children and seek to inform public opinion, and we make submissions to government. We’re also part of the Every Child Counts coalition.
Play your part
You can be an advocate for children by:
- speaking up for children in your family or community to help keep them safe
- getting involved in the Every Child Counts 1000 days to get it right for every child campaign
- writing to your MP or the media, or calling talkback radio.
