In addition to areas of strength and progress, The State of Australia’s Children highlights the persistent structural inequalities and emerging risks that threaten the potential of tomorrow’s generation. Together at the launch, we will reaffirm the need for children to be at the centre of our national priorities by stating the case for more targeted, coordinated investments that will help every child thrive. This webinar will explore the key findings of the report, bring The State of Australia’s Children report to life and show how to turn data into decisions. You’ll also hear directly from young people who contributed to the report, briefing you on what they need to thrive in 2025.
