  • Appointing a Cabinet Minister for Children


  • Making child wellbeing a standing priority of National Cabinet


  • Developing and implementing a National Plan for Child Wellbeing


  • Enshrining children’s rights in law through a National Children’s Act

The Act for Children campaign acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and their ​enduring connection to the lands, waters, and skies. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. In solidarity, AFC supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the need for truth-telling about the history and impact of colonisation. We treasure the rich and diverse cultures and customs of First Nations people – valued knowledge holders, leaders and partners in creating the conditions for all our children to thrive.
