Children’s Voices Centre

The Children’s Voices Centre (CVC) is a beacon of innovation and inclusivity, empowering all children to communicate, collaborate, and create a better future for themselves and the world.

The CVC’s research focuses on two themes:

• Children, families, and communities, and
• Workforce and policy.

The CVC amplifies children’s voices and champions children’s communication, learning, health, and development, and conducts world-leading, transformative interdisciplinary research with global reach emphasising inclusivity, diversity, social justice, equity, capacity building, and innovation.

The CVC collaborates with:

• People: children, families, communities, practitioners, professionals.
• Disciplines: education (early childhood, primary, inclusive education), allied health (speech-language pathology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, paramedicine), nursing, communications, media, data science, and more
• Organisations: government departments, universities, international and national organisations including the World Health Organization and the United Nations.
• Settings: homes, early childhood education and care centres, schools, health and disability services, community settings, businesses, civic settings, leisure and recreation settings.

The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child guides the work of the CVC to ensure children's voices are heard by those responsible for building an inclusive world for everyone.
