Work, care and social security: making it work for children and families
Watch the recording of our BSL Talks webinar held on Tuesday 28 June
Much has changed since Bob Hawke’s 1987 claim that no Australian child would live in poverty by 1990. Yet today, more than one in six children live in poverty, and those in sole parent families are at much greater risk of living in poverty than children in couple families. So, what needs to be done to tackle child and family poverty?
Hear from BSL's Dr Dina Bowman and a panel of experts - Emeritus Professor Bettina Cass, Professor Peter Whiteford and advocate Paulene, as they discuss work, care and social security, and what needs to change to improve things for children and families.
