safe, healthy, nurtured, happy – always, everywhere, with everyone

Safe

All children, teens and families should be safe and feel safe, with other family members, carers, teachers, friends, peers, colleagues and strangers, at home, in their communities and beyond, all the time.

Healthy

Everyone should have the opportunity for a healthy start from birth, throughout childhood, adolescence and into adulthood, for ongoing good health, and for affordable and accessible treatments, products and services.

Information and support should be available from the start for planning and caring for children, and developing and nurturing each individual as they grow to become independent young adults.

Welcome to a new Children’s Guide!

We are so super excited to be bringing you Children’s Guide – a new and independent website, community-focused news service and magazine.

But this is not just for kids, or parents of young children. We aim to connect, engage, inform and inspire kids, teens, young adults, families and communities all across Australia. 

Key word – Community – with a fresh look at what’s happening right in our own towns and suburbs! As well as a bunch of stuff to help keep kids, families and communities safe, healthy, nurtured and happy.

Working and being inspired from our offices located on beautiful and fascinating Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, I can’t wait to introduce you to our team and grow Children’s Guide!
