Let's be champions for children
We believe collaboration is key to amplifying impact.
At ARACY, we believe that children’s wellbeing is everyone’s responsibility — and that real change happens when we work together. We connect people, organisations, research and evidence to create a shared national approach to improving the lives of children and young people.
When you partner with ARACY, you join a powerful network committed to building a better future — grounded in evidence, driven by collaboration, and focused on what works.

What we bring:
Holistic understanding of health and wellbeing for children and young people
We are the architects of The Nest, Australia’s first, nationally recognised framework for child and youth wellbeing including health. We have partnered with governments and organisations across Australia to help them embed The Nest in their practices and programs.
Deep knowledge of what children and young people want for themselves
We created The Common Approach training – a health promotion strategy that helps you understand what children and young people need to thrive.
We also developed the Young and Wise report – a summary of insights from over 10,000 children and young people across Australia, highlighting what supports their wellbeing and how stakeholders can take action, guided by ARACY’s The Nest Framework.
Working together for lasting change
Collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and jurisdictions is essential to creating a fairer future for children and young people. At ARACY, we bring together partners committed to systemic reform, intergenerational fairness, and structural accountability to drive real and lasting impact.
Our advocacy is non-partisan and firmly rooted in evidence, ensuring that policy and system changes are guided by what works. Talk to us about how we can support your child and young people-centred advocacy and help drive meaningful change.
Systems experts, comfortable with complexity
We’re experienced at convening complex collaborations. We bring together diverse stakeholders to help unify and bolster our collective efforts. We all want better outcomes for children and young people, so let’s work together, better. Open the room to new voices and new ideas.
