As the Valuing Children Initiative continues its campaign to end child poverty in Australia, it's crucial to revisit the important discussions from last year’s End Child Poverty webinar. 

The insights shared remain just as relevant now as we strive to create a better future for all Australian children.

The webinar brought together international experts to explore effective strategies from countries like the United States and New Zealand, where dedicated measures to address child poverty are already in place. Our esteemed guest speakers discussed the positive impact these policies have had on children living in poverty and what we can learn from their experiences.

Our guest speakers included:

  • Kate Breslin, President and CEO, Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, New York
  • Cara Baldari, Vice President, Family Economics, Housing and Homelessness, First Focus on Children, U.S.
  • Hugh Webb, Principal Analyst, Child Wellbeing and Poverty Reduction Group, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, New Zealand
  • Toni Wren, Executive Director, Anti-Poverty Week, Australia

While the conversation around child poverty continues to evolve, the statistics and urgency behind the issue remain unchanged. More than ever, we are committed to advocating for strong policies and solutions to ensure no Australian child is left behind.

The discussion is ongoing, and we need your help to keep this critical issue at the forefront of public attention.

By signing our petition, you can be part of a movement that is pushing for real, lasting change.
