A message from the National Commissioner
As a Wurundjeri and Ngurai Illum Wurrung woman, I am honoured to champion the voices, rights and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people across Australia.
Every child has rights: the right to be safe, to be heard, to grow up connected to family, community, culture and Country, and the right to have a say in decisions that affect their lives. These rights are set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and they guide my work as National Commissioner.
I hope you will walk with me to a future where all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people are safe, empowered and connected to family, community and kin.
Ngoon Godjin (Thank You)
