Join us for the live-streamed official launch of National Child Protection Week 2023 by the Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd) and Her Excellency, Mrs Linda Hurley.

Professor Ben Mathews will provide insight into the sobering findings of the Australian Child Maltreatment Study.

The Study tells us loud and clear that child maltreatment is widespread and harmful.

Professor Mathews will take us beyond the statistics to highlight the power of this world-first study as an opportunity for Australia to transform our nation.

Child maltreatment is preventable. Together, we can be part of the generation that turns the curve for every Australian child to get a fair go.
