HOW WE WORK

Your voice is key

Our approach is all about you having a say on what matters and what will make a difference

Our rights-based approach to working with kids. Based on best practice (the science-y stuff) and advice from practitioners, peers, sector (the professional adult-y stuff) and most importantly children and young people like you (the important stuff).

We understand that to be effective, we must listen deeply and show respect for all people and their rights to uphold and strengthen their culture, values, beliefs, traditions and customs.

Discover more

How do we know we're making a positive impact? We start by asking the kids and caregivers who come to our services all sorts of questions about how they feel, what they've learned and how they're tracking against their goals. We then combine and analyise all of their responses, and voila! We've got a pretty good idea of what we're doing right and where we need to be better.

our Strategy

We exist so all kids in Australia have their rights met.

As a wealthy, stable, developed nation, with an amazing richness of culture, Australia should – and can be – the best place for kids and teens to thrive. Thankfully, most of the 5.6 million children living in Australia today do grow up safe, healthy and happy. But not all children here have their rights met in consistent and meaningful ways.

Our approach to working with you is simple – you tell us what you want, what you need, what you dream of, and we listen. It’s your voices that inform and drive the focus of our work. We strive to see the world as you do – so we're able to act in meaningful ways, and with real impact.

Over the last twelve months, this approach has allowed us to reach almost 25,000 kids and their caregivers in every state and territory to develop, learn, be safe, connected and heard.
