Homes are Vital for Children's Wellbeing

Australia’s National Children’s Commissioner's (ANCC)  report "‘Help way earlier!’: How Australia can transform child justice to improve safety and wellbeing" was released on 20 August.

Responding to the Report, Mercy Foundation asserts " A home is fundamental to the safety and wellbeing of all, especially children. Homelessness and insecure housing is harmful and represents a serious breach of their human rights. It is incumbent upon all of us to urgently ensure that all children have a safe, permanent, affordable and appropriate home."
