The State of Australia’s Children 2025

Minderoo Foundation, UNICEF Australia and ARACY invite you to a webinar following the launch of “The State of Australia’s Children” – a flagship report and comprehensive picture into the wellbeing of children and youth across the nation.

Enriching the latest publicly available data with the perspectives of Australia’s children and young people, The State of Australia’s Children report is a holistic view of how the country’s youth are faring.

Grounded in the Australian Children’s Wellbeing Index, developed by UNICEF Australia and ARACY, the report:

• Explores wellbeing outcomes for children across six domains
• Identifies the megatrends shaping the future of today’s kids
• Outlines the next steps for government to ensure all children flourish

Speakers include:

• Penny Dakin,  Communities Executive Director, Minderoo Foundation
• Prue Warrilow, CEO, ARACY
• Adrienne O’Dell, Manager of Domestic Partnerships and Alliances, UNICEF Australia
• Marketa Reeves, Project Manager, Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas University of Western Australia

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.
