NAIDOC Week — The Next Generation: Strength, Vision, and Legacy

This year’s NAIDOC theme is The Next Generation: Strength, Vision, and Legacy. Drawing on these words, Commissioner Meena Singh will discuss her work at the Commission for Children and Young People, the importance of hearing and acting upon the voices of Aboriginal children and young people, and how ensuring their safety, and supporting their growth, means we are investing in our future.

A call to action: the second Lancet Commission on adolescent health and wellbeing

Almost 10 years has passed since the first Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing. Whilst some progress has been made, many areas of need are escaping our efforts, and much more needs to be done to ensure optimal adolescent health and wellbeing. This second Commission brought together 44 commissioners from across the globe and disciplines, including 10 youth commissioners who co-led each workstream.
