National Children’s Commissioner Megan Mitchell is calling for submissions from all people and organisations that have something to say about the state of children’s rights in Australia. Commissioner Mitchell will also prepare a more comprehensive version of this report, a ‘state of the nation’ on child rights in Australia for her next Children’s Rights Report, which will be submitted to Parliament in late 2018. The Commissioner is taking submissions on a wide range of child rights but submissions don’t need to address them all, they can concern a single right or group of rights. “Now is your time to be heard,” Commissioner Mitchell said. “I would like to include your views on how Australia is progressing or not progressing in terms of meeting our obligations to children in Australia under international law. Please send submissions electronically to kids@humanrights.gov.au with the subject title SUBMISSION, or in writing to GPO Box 5218 Sydney NSW 2000. Submissions close on Monday 23 May 2018. Please I encourage all Kinship carers to submit a submission regarding your situation and have your voice heard.
