As @AntiPovertyWeek draws to a close and we reflect on a week of thought provoking events, it's time to use new knowledge to take action.

It's time to take steps to address the underlying causes of child poverty in this wealthy country.

It's time to #EndChildPoverty.

[Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership @TQKPartnership]

@ChildPolicyCntr has identified 5 #actions we can take immediately to #endchildpoverty in Australia:

1 Raise the rate of benefits
2 Child rights impact assessments for all policies
3 Build child-friendly communities
4 Education equity
5 Change the narrative

What else? #APW2022

#EnoughisEnough
more than 700,000 children in Australia live in poverty
@ChildPolicyCntr has the evidence & know how to end #childpoverty
#fivesteps

[The Children's Policy Centre @ChildPolicyCntr]

A wellbeing budget is on the way in Australia. But to build a society with wellbeing at the core we need solid foundations - we need to end poverty. Three principles from the UNCRC can help to #EndChildPoverty: provision, protection & participation.
