Its time for us all to End Child Poverty in Australia.
Research by Bankwest Curtin Economics demonstrates strong links between rising rents and living costs and rising rates of child poverty.
Every day in Australia, more than 823,000 children live below the poverty line.
All children and young people deserve to thrive.
Join our mission to End Child Poverty in Australia and bring about a brighter future for all children.
Transforming Children's Lives, Building a Prosperous Future
-
Transforming Lives
Our campaign shines a light on children living in poverty, ensuring systems of education, housing, healthcare, food security, income support, employment and improved living conditions are working to prevent children living below the poverty line.
-
Economic Prosperity
A child who lives in poverty is 3.3 times as likely to live in poverty as an adult. However, in Australia, there is no national approach to ending child poverty.
-
Global Recognition
Recognising that child poverty has to end will put Australia on the global stage as a leader in child well-being and social justice. It sends a powerful message to the world that we value our children, attracting international attention, and recognition for our commitment to a brighter future for the next generation.
