Community Work Australia

Too often, the evidence we collect about families to use in policy and service development focuses on one or two types of family. We know that families in Australia are much more diverse than is considered in public debate and public policy.

The Uniting Families Report is a new partnership between .act and Social Policy Research Centre, providing annual insights into the experiences of families raising children and young people in Australia. Better research and understanding of families will inform understanding and drive better policy reform.

This report is a first step towards challenging the notion that all family experiences are the same and can be explored here: uniting.org/families-report
