The City of Melbourne Family and Children’s Advisory Committee was established in August 2007 and brings together people with broad and diverse knowledge and experience of issues relating to families and children.
The Family and Children’s Advisory Committee is an important point of contact between Council and families with children from birth to 12 years and will:
- provide advice on issues relevant to the implementation of the Children’s Plan 2010-2013
- provide comment on relevant Council policies and strategies
- advocate community views on families and children
- provide recommendations on methods and techniques to better inform and engage the community on family and children’s issues
- on an as needs basis, undertake a consultative role on family and child related issues across council’s functions and services.
The current committee was formed in April 2011. Committee membership was sought on the basis of achieving representation aligned with the key themes of the Children’s Plan 2010-2013:
- rights of children
- opportunities to connect and build strong communities
- healthy children
- safer city
- natural and urban environment
