Hon. Linda Burney and Family Matters Qld Co-Chair Michael Currie raise that Voice, Treaty, Truth cannot progress without the voice of our children included. Our children want their families to receive support so they can stay together, strong and safe in culture.

Exciting announcements at the Family Matters Report 2022 launch in Canberra include that there will be more subsidies to increase access to early childhood education and more Aboriginal Educators in schools. #FamilyMatters2022

The Hon. Linda Burney encourages that the answers lie in the Family Matters Report to help our children be stronger and safer from the start #FamilyMatters2022 @SNAICC Family Matters Queensland
