Combatting child poverty in Australia
About this course: What are the challenges and how can we overcome them?
To contribute to this year's Anti-Poverty Week theme of ending child poverty, the Centre for Community Child Health and the Victorian Council of Social Services are partnering on a webinar. We'll explore prevention and early intervention solutions to reduce the impacts of financial hardship and poverty on children and families.
The webinar will explore:
- the current state of poverty and financial hardship in Victoria and Australia
- the impact of financial hardship and poverty on children’s health, development and wellbeing
- the role of policy in combatting child poverty
- prevention and early intervention solutions, including the Healthier Wealthier Families (HWF) pilot program.
Participants will have an opportunity to engage in a Q&A with the panel.
Date: 19 October 2023, 1:00pm–2:00pm (AEDT)
