Combatting child poverty in Australia: 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 financial hardship and poverty 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.
