Thank you to Archbishop Costelloe and the Catholic Archdiocese of Perth for their support of the Valuing Children Initiative End Child Poverty campaign.
Initiated by Centrecare, through its Valuing Children Initiative, the campaign now has the support of 165 organisations including:
- the National Children’s Commissioner and
- seven State and Territory Commissioners for Children and Young People.
It’s wonderful to see the significant support received for this important work. We continue to face the uncomfortable reality 17% of Australian children live below the poverty line. The campaign is calling on the Federal Government to legislate its commitment to addressing child poverty.
You can join the campaign at: www.endchildpoverty.com.au
