Commissioner's Update - September 2021

Thousands of children and young people from all regions of WA have now shared their views on their health, safety, family and school life and how they see their place in society in my second Speaking Out Survey. 

This week I published the Exploring the decline in wellbeing for Australian girls report, a literature review that contextualises this WA data. It is clear that we need to listen to what young females are saying about their wellbeing.

I encourage you to read more about this work, as well as the new Child Friendly Complaints Guidelines and updates to the Indicators of Wellbeing online data resource.
