12.01.2022 NATIONAL CHILD PROTECTION WEEK Putting children first was front of mind when the National Child Protection Week campaign was launched in 1990, with the aim of bringing abuse and neglect out of the shadows and putting child wellbeing on the national agenda. Since then, the need to put children first has been recognised time and time again as an important pillar for boosting the wellbeing of all children in Australia. ... Last years National Child Protection Week campaign was based on research that shows the importance of putting children first when talking about parenting, and continued the message that conversations are a key part of engaging the whole community in caring for children. Under this years theme of Putting children first we invite all Australians to look at how they can prioritise children in their lives and communities and to engage in National Child Protection Week as individuals, and as part of families, organisations, communities and society. Putting children first means prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children. To grow up well children need to feel safe and loved, have a chance to play and explore, have a say in decisions that affect them, and access to essential things like food, shelter and healthcare. For children to thrive we need to come together as a community and put childrens needs first during National Child Protection Week and every week.

07.01.2022 Today is the National Day of Action to #RaisetheRateforGood. We are asking the Federal Government not to cut the $300 a fortnight JobSeeker payment. The Coronavirus Supplement lifts recipients income above the relative poverty line. In a previous report, the 100 Families WA project reported on the significant adverse impacts on family members lives of a Newstart (the forerunner of JobSeeker) payment set well below the poverty line.... The most common impact that family members reported as a result of receiving the Coronavirus Supplement was improved quality of life (n = 41; 51.9%).
