Children Australia is published by the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare

Children Australia is published by the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare. For over 100 years, the Centre has advanced the rights and wellbeing of children, young people and families in Victoria. They advocate for the rights of children and young people to be heard, to be safe, to access education and to remain connected to family, community and culture.

The Centre represents over 100 Victorian organisations working across the continuum of child and family services, from prevention and early intervention to the provision of out-of-home care. Their members are at the forefront of supporting children, young people and families, and include ACCOS, community service organisations, Peak bodies, health service providers, councils, advocacy organisations, as well as individuals and students.

Children Australia: Advancing Child, Youth & Family Services publishes evidence, research and commentary from practitioners, clinicians, researchers and policymakers and the children, young people and families they support. The journal welcomes a diverse range of article types about the welfare, wellbeing and development of children, young people and their families.

All articles are available for free on the journal website. There are no publishing fees for authors.
