Our children are the most precious resource we have in Australia.

As professionals working with children and children’s services, we are in a unique and privileged position to enrich their lives now and on their journey to adulthood. This conference seeks to highlight the fundamental importance of childhood experiences as a major contributor to the development of healthy and vibrant communities. Join us as we explore, debate, experience and recapture the wonder of childhood.

We challenge you to join us in taking practical steps towards “Reclaiming Childhood” for the children you care for. See you in Manly!
