NEW Children and Families Mobile Hub

Our Children and Families Hub is now mobile and will be coming to a location near you! Each fortnight the Mobile Hub will visit a new ward within the City.

Child Friendly Cities

We’ve developed the Child-Friendly City Action Plan to guide our journey towards becoming a child-friendly City. The Child-Friendly City Initiative (CFCI) is a United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) global initiative to create places in which the voices, needs, priorities and rights of children, are an integral part of public policies, programs and decisions.

Download the adopted Action Plan to view the actions in detail.

For more information, or if you have any specific questions, contact Council's Manager Children's Services on 9789 9429.
