A world fit for children
April 2008
In 2004 the Australian Government started to put together a National Plan of Action to improve the lives of children and young people in Australia. The Government asked us to talk with children and young people to find out what they think about living in Australia, what makes it good or not so good and what could be done to make their lives better.
As part of the plan we talked with more than 500 kids aged 5 -17 years through focus groups in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia and also had an online survey on our website. A big thank you to all the children and young people who shared their views and ideas.
