Show Notes
We know what children need in their first five years to develop to their full potential, so why isn’t action around this at the top of the national agenda?
Former Premier and South Australian Minister for Children, Jay Weatherill, leads the Thrive by Five campaign, which seeks to change that. He’s advocating for a universal, high quality childcare system for all Australian children.
What would it take to get the states and the Commonwealth to cooperate and hasten the pace of reform to improve kids’ outcomes and better support parents and carers?
Ebony Curtis also shares her story of becoming a mum for the first time at 15. What's it like to navigate pregnancy and raising children when you’re not an adult yourself? As a young parent who has pursued her education and career dreams, while adding to her family, Ebony also lends her lived experience to the work of The Brave Foundation.
Brave works to support teens in their communities to become the parents they want to be, while also juggling their own education and other needs.
With thanks to: Jay Weatherill, Ebony Curtis, Brave Foundation
