In May 2011, the Child Health Promotion Research Centre (CHPRC), in partnership with Primary Communication, were commissioned by the Australian Human Rights Commission to conduct a study to identify the most effective strategy, messages, content and technology to be used to undertake a social marketing campaign targeted at young people aged 13 to 17 years old. The social marking campaign will focus on encouraging cyberbullying bystanders to take positive, effective and safe action when they witness cyberbullying.

Privileging the voice of children in family law

I want to start by sharing with you the views of 14-year-old Rani who was – as part of a custody case – the subject of a lengthy dispute about contact. Rani had an independent children’s lawyer and a family report to present ‘her best interests’ to the judge. However she still felt totally excluded from the decision-making process.

I’m thrilled to have been invited today by Prue Warrilow, Brian Babington and Families Australia and feel honoured to deliver the Berry Street Childhood Institute Families Australia Oration as my first speaking engagement as inaugural National Children’s Commissioner.

Discrimination. Don't cop it!

You don’t have to put up with being treated unfairly because you’re young. There are laws to protect you against discrimination, harassment and bullying. These laws apply right across Australia.

If you have a complaint, the Australian Human Rights Commission can look into it. We will talk to the people involved and help you work out a solution.

Our aim is to help you deal with your complaint quickly and with the minimum of fuss. Our complaint handling service is free of charge.
