Affiliate members

We are actively seeking to forge strong partnerships with people who share our commitment to improving the safety and wellbeing of children and young people. Our people are passionate about wanting to make a real difference in shaping the future of Australia's children.

We invite academics working in education, health sciences, social welfare, youth work, public policy or law or any other discipline where children are central, to become affiliates. Together we can initiate interdisciplinary research projects that benefit children. Our key areas of research fall into the following categories:

• approaches to child maltreatment
• safeguarding children in institutions
• informing service provision
• child protection systems, services and practice
• research about children and families
• child-centred and child-informed research.

If your research, teaching or engagement interests align with ours, there is great potential to work together on developing child- and family-informed policy and practice through evaluations, training, consultation and knowledge translation.
