Channel 10 Helps Make Child Poverty a National Conversation
We need the reality of child poverty to become common knowledge among all Australians. These uncomfortable conversations are crucial for sparking the action needed to address our national child poverty crisis! We need your support to make this happen.
During Anti-Poverty Week 2024, the Valuing Children Initiative stood alongside organisations to demand action.

We displayed 100 teddy bears, including 17 orange bears, to symbolize the staggering reality that 17 in 100 Australian children live in poverty.These bears represent safety and security—the very basics every child deserves. Our message is clear: it’s time for the government to take real steps to end child poverty in Australia. Every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, secure, and supported.
