Welcome to ARACY

The Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) is a national non-profit organisation working to create better futures for all Australia’s children and young people.

Despite Australia being a wealthy, developed country, many aspects of the health and wellbeing of our young people have been declining. ARACY was formed to reverse these trends, by preventing and addressing the major problems affecting our children and young people.

ARACY tackles these complex issues through building collaborations with researchers, policy makers and practitioners from a broad range of disciplines. We share knowledge and foster evidence-based solutions. By working together, we can begin to close the gap between what is known and what is done to help all children achieve their full potential.

Everything we do has the ultimate aim of improving the wellbeing of children and young people. 

Without the support of our partners, ARACY would not be able to continue our work. Our principal support comes from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous affairs (FaHCSIA), and major partners:
