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

Our research focusses two themes:

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

We amplify children’s voices and champion children’s communication, learning, health, and development.

We conduct world-leading, transformative interdisciplinary research with global reach emphasising inclusivity, diversity, social justice, equity, capacity building, and innovation.

We collaborate 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.
• 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 our work to ensure children's voices are heard by those responsible for building an inclusive world for everyone.
