Abstract
The primary purpose of this paper is to facilitate an informed discussion across those stakeholders concerned with Australian children’s wellbeing to possibly develop an enhanced set of frameworks and indicators to measure child wellbeing in a meaningful way. Such a framework could be used as a tool for greater accountability for state and federal governments and the community services sector for improving child wellbeing.
