In Focus: More For Children project

To reduce child poverty, Australia must understand how children experience poverty differently to adults.

Led by experts at ANU Crawford School of Public Policy, the More for Children Project aims to build this understanding. Its child-centred methodology reveals what life is like for Australian children in poverty, and its policy analysis is a critical resource for policymakers building a child-inclusive Australia.
