Supporting children and young people to have a voice in family law

Pacifica Congress is pleased to share an invitation to the official launch of Family Law 4 Kids — a new online toolkit designed to help children and young people understand and exercise their right to participate in family law processes when their parents separate.

Family Law 4 Kids has been co-designed with 41 children and young people aged 10 to 19 years from across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria — all of whom have experienced separation and engagement with the family law system. Their voices, ideas, and experiences have shaped a practical, accessible resource to support children’s meaningful involvement in family law decisions that affect them.

The Toolkit is a key outcome of the Children’s Participation in Family Law research project, led by Southern Cross University in collaboration with 54 Reasons (Save the Children Australia) and Youth Law Australia.
