The organisations were invited to contribute based on the fact that they bring views, perspectives, and experience that is directly relevant to the development of the Framework including in relation to children’s health, learning, participation, and wellbeing; lived expertise of disability, and supporting people with disabilities; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples; and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
We acknowledge that there is an extensive community of organisations, not included in this list, that are highly relevant and important to the health, learning, participation, and wellbeing of children and warmly invite all organisations to share their views via the community consultation process.
