The State of Australia's Children 2025 Report

Developed by UNICEF Australia in partnership with Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) and supported by Minderoo Foundation, The State of Australia's Children report combines the latest publicly available data with the first hand perspectives of Australia's children and young people. Using the Australian Children’s Wellbeing Index, developed by UNICEF Australia and ARACY, the report:  

• Explores wellbeing outcomes for children across six domains, 

• Identifies the megatrends shaping the future of today’s kids,  

• Outlines the next steps for government to ensure all children thrive.  

While many Australian children and young people are getting the support they need, many are falling behind. This report is a call to action to address these gaps and make children a national priority so every child in Australia gets the best possible start in life. The report emphasises the need to turn evidence into action to create a brighter future for every child in Australia. 

The Australian Child and Youth Wellbeing Atlas has collaborated with UNICEF Australia to bring the findings of The State of Australia’s Children report to life through data visualisation and community breakdown.
