A critical element of improving the lives of children is ensuring that governments enact policies that uphold child rights and reflect the needs of current and future generations. Through our advocacy, we fight to protect and fulfil child rights. We are constantly working towards this goal with coordinated efforts through public and private channels to hold governments to account for effective and systemic policy change. In 2021 we elevated the voices of children and ensured that children are at the centre of Australia’s response to critical issues that affect them, especially the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the threat to their futures posed by the climate crisis.
