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.

I have set up our offices on beautiful and fascinating Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour, I can’t wait to introduce you to our team and grow Children’s Guide!
