Description

In this episode, I speak with Anne Hollonds, Australia’s National Children’s Commissioner, about her work advocating for the rights, safety, and wellbeing of children and young people. Drawing on decades of experience in child and family policy, Commissioner Hollonds offers thoughtful insights into the challenges facing young Australians today from mental health and education inequality to the importance of listening to children’s voices in decision-making.

Our conversation explores both the systemic reforms needed and the practical steps individuals can take to help create a society where every child has the opportunity to thrive. This is a powerful discussion for anyone interested in social policy, human rights, or the future of Australia’s next generation.
